- By contrast, a serum cortisol concentration less than 18 mcg/dL in a sick and stressed patient is suggestive of adrenal insufficiency (Addison disease), although some critically ill patients may have such cortisol concentrations due to lack of protein binding to cortisol (see Relative adrenal insufficiency under Etiology). (medscape.com)
