    Glossary Dexamethasone Suppression Test

    measures cortisol response to synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone

    The Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST) is a diagnostic procedure used to assess adrenal gland function by measuring how cortisol levels in the blood respond to an injection of dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions like Cushing's syndrome, where the body produces too much cortisol.
