In patients with suppression of the HPA axis by long-term prescription of prednisolone, 7.5 mg 5.0 mg 2.5 mg 1.0 mg( 7.5 mg, 5.0 mg, 2.5 mg, 1.0 mg ) daily reliably provides adequate steroid replacement, i.e. the patient is getting enough exogenous steroid to cover any insufficiency of endogenous steroid production.

Cortisol levels are typically at their daily peak in the morning evening( morning, evening )

Addison's Disease typically results in increased decreased( increased, decreased ) levels of ACTH

After being taken in rural GP settings, blood samples are sometimes kept in a fridge overnight due to long transit times between themselves and the hospital. During this time, there is leakage of potassium calcium sodium chloride( potassium, calcium, sodium, chloride ) from the ICF into the ECF. Therefore, when the sample is eventually analysed in the hospital they find a raised level of this mineral. This is called Pseudohyperkalaemia Pseudohypernatraemia Pseudohypercalcaemia Pseudohyperchloride( Pseudohyperkalaemia, Pseudohypernatraemia, Pseudohypercalcaemia, Pseudohyperchloride )
