| Research Abstract |
Steroid is divided into two kinds of glucocorticoid and mineral corticoid. The representation of mineral corticoid is aldosterone. Most of medical scientists consider aldosterone as a cause of inflammation and useless. But blood aldosterone level shows low in some sever septic patient, and low aldosterone concentration in itself cause one of inflammation pathogenesis possibly. We studied steroid supplement treatment for sever septic adreanal insufficiency rat. The supplement method is only dexamethasone or only aldosterone or both. Adrenalectomized sepsis rat supplemented with only dexamethasone or aldosterone could not survive. We thought that the existence of both corticoids has specific effective effect on adrenalectomized sepsis rat living.
