INTRODUCTION: The 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DxST) is widely used to screen Cushing's syndrome (CS) due to its high diagnostic accuracy. CS is an endocrine-metabolic disorder caused by hypercorticism, which is characterized by the absence of cortisol suppression in DxST. OBJECTIVE: To develop a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the measurement of serum dexamethasone (Dx) to complement DxST. METHODS: Three rabbits were inoculated with dexamethasone-21-hemisuccinate-BSA in order to choose the best antibody. Serum Dx RIA was performed according to RE 899/2003 (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária [ANVISA]) regulations. Serum samples from 96 volunteers from Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) and Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São...
