[Estimation of plasma cortisol by radiocompetition or radioimmunoassay. Use of commercial kits (author's transl)].
The estimation of plasma cortisol is carried out in daily practice by numerous laboratories. The use of commercial kits permits a specific, sure and relatively precise estimation. Two kits are studied; the results obtained are compared with those given by a method of measurement of fluorescence. Economic assessment together with estimation of the risks due to manipulation of radioactive substances permit one to judge the relative value of these methods of analysis.
