ABSTRACT Pituitary-adrenal function was tested in a group of 33 patients with multiple sclerosis who had been treated with corticotrophin for at least 1 year. Assessment was made by measuring the change in the plasma 11-hydroxycorticosteroid concentration following lysine vasopressin (LVP) administration. Ten patients showed abnormally small increases after LVP. Two of the 5 patients with the smallest increases still showed impairment 8 months later. The patients with no withdrawal symptoms had normal or nearly normal increases following LVP. There was an association between the concentration of 11-hydroxycorticosteroids immediately after withdrawal of ACTH and the subsequent response to LVP.
