Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Use of corticosteroid medications, such as prednisolone
- Use of opiod-containing medication
- Use of medications containing estrogen, such as hormone therapy for menopause
- Previously diagnosed reactive hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery requiring medical treatment
Other illness
- Nephrotic syndrome (kidney disease with protein loss in urine), liver cirrhosis, or severe malnutrition, as these conditions reduce cortisol-binding globulin (CBG) levels, affecting total cortisol concentration
- Known adrenal disease affecting cortisol metabolism, including autonomous cortisol production and Cushing's syndrome
- Diabetes that does not require medical treatment
Other
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Who the study is looking for
- Participants must have undergone one of the following bariatric procedures at least 12 months prior:
