Reduced Cortisol Metabolism during Critical Illness
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Critical illness is often accompanied by hypercortisolemia, which has been attributed to stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. However, low corticotropin levels have also been reported in critically ill patients, which may be due to reduced cortisol metabolism. METHODS: In a total of 158 patients in the intensive care unit and 64 matched controls, we tested five aspects of cortisol metabolism: daily levels of corticotropin and cortisol; plasma cortisol clearance, metabolism, and production during infusion of deuterium-labeled steroid hormones as tracers; plasma clearance of 100 mg of hydrocortisone; levels of urinary cortisol metabolites; and levels of messenger RNA and protein in liver and adipose tissue, to assess major cortisol-metabolizing enzymes. RESULTS: Total and free circulating cortisol levels were consistently higher in the patients than in controls, whereas corticotropin levels were lower (P<0.001 for both comparisons). Cortisol production was 83% higher in the patients (P=0.02). There was a reduction of more than 50% in cortisol clearance during tracer infusion and after the administration of 100 mg of hydrocortisone in the patients (P≤0.03 for both comparisons). All these factors accounted for an increase by a factor of 3.5 in plasma cortisol levels in the patients, as compared with controls (P<0.001). Impaired cortisol clearance also correlated with a lower cortisol response to corticotropin stimulation. Reduced cortisol metabolism was associated with reduced inactivation of cortisol in the liver and kidney, as suggested by urinary steroid ratios, tracer kinetics, and assessment of liver-biopsy samples (P≤0.004 for all comparisons). CONCLUSIONS: During critical illness, reduced cortisol breakdown, related to suppressed expression and activity of cortisol-metabolizing enzymes, contributed to hypercortisolemia and hence corticotropin suppression. The diagnostic and therapeutic implications for critically ill patients are unknown.

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“The plasma elimination half time of exogenously administered hydrocortisone is approximately 90 min, but may be shorter in patients taking inducers of liver enzyme CYP3A4 [4] or suffering from hyperthyroidism, and longer in critically ill patients [11].”
From Guidelines for the management of glucocorticoids during the peri‐operative period for patients with adrenal insufficiency (2020) · cites this paper as [11]
In the citing paper
“The previously reported reduced cortisol clearance during critical illness (30) may affect the requirements of hydrocortisone in patients with adrenal insufficiency and should be taken into consideration when interpreting our findings.”
From Prevention of adrenal crisis: cortisol responses to major stress compared to stress dose hydrocortisone delivery (2020) · cites this paper as [30]
In the citing paper
“Though we observed the highest serum cortisol concentrations in sepsis, it is unlikely that hydrocortisone doses higher than 200 mg per 24 hours would be required to cover patients with adrenal insufficiency in that situation, as critical illness results in a decrease in cortisol inactivation (30).”

In the citing paper
“The expression and activity of 5-reductases within the liver and probably other tissues is decreased in response to inflammation [14].”

In the citing paper
“Compared with healthy volunteers, clinical studies have found ACTH levels to be significantly lower in critically ill septic patients [14,64,65].”
In the citing paper
“In addition, feedback inhibition exerted by elevated circulating free cortisol, driven by ACTH-independent mechanisms and suppressed cortisol breakdown, can suppress ACTH [14,15,59].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
