Verhoogd Cortisol

[janine]

Beste forummers,

Zijn er personen waarbij, net als bij mij, een verhoogd cortisol getest is?
In de trant van dubbel zo hoog enzovoort?
(Ik vind nml op dit forum vooral te lage cortisolgehaltes)

Zo ja, wat is er vervolgens over gezegd? Wat is er gedaan? Wat was de eventuele oorzaak?

Ik ben benieuwd,

Janine

Algemeen:

cortisol is verhoogd bij stress, bij depressie
cortisol is verlaagd bij ME/cvs

HPA axis abnormalities, including hypercortisolemia, elevated urinary free cortisol, and exaggerated cortical response to corticotrophin, appear in persons with depression.

In patients with CFS, however, the opposite appears to be true. CFS patients have lower plasma cortisol than do controls and have a reduced response to corticotrophin.

In a direct comparison study, depressed patients had the highest levels of circulating cortisol, normal controls had lower levels, and CFS patients had the lowest levels.

Urinary free cortisol (UFC) excretion was significantly higher in patients with depression than in healthy comparison subjects, and UFC excretion was significantly lower in patients with CFS than in the comparison group in a 1998 study.

The CFS patients who had comorbid depressive illness retained the profile of UFC excretion of those with CFS alone, which suggests a different pathophysiologic basis for depressive symptoms in CFS.

Another study showed low cortisol levels in CFS patients compared to controls and determined that depression in CFS may be different from classic depression

wat niet wegneemt dat in stressperiode dus cortisol omhoog kan schieten...

Thnx Zuiderzon.
Stress nu is niet zo gek, ik moet afstuderen.
Ben zelf absoluut niet depressief. (wat ook weer gezegt wordt bij een te laag cortisol)
