If the ACTH level is high, the next step is to give an injection of a high dose of dexamethasone.

如果ACTH水平过高，下一步则射高剂量地塞米松。

It was British researchers who discovered the effectiveness of dexamethasone, a cheap drug, in treating covid-19 patients who are admitted to hospital.

是英国研究员发现了一种便宜的药物——地塞米松在治愈入院冠病人方面的有效性。

Unlike pituitary adenomas, ectopic sites of ACTH productions typically don't respond even to high doses of dexamethasone, and the serum cortisol remains high.

和垂体腺瘤不同，异位ACTH综合征一般对高剂量地塞米松没有反应，血醇还是会很高。

Another option is also the dexamethasone suppression test, which is when a person is given a low dose of dexamethasone, which is an exogenous steroid that suppresses ACTH production in the pituitary gland.

另一种方法是地塞米松抑制试验，给被试低剂量的地塞米松，一种外源性类固醇，抑制垂体生成ACTH。

By logging on to the hospital system I'd been able to follow the course of his admission: he'd been started on the steroid dexamethasone, and a new antiviral drug, and was making a good recovery.

他已经开始服用类固醇地塞米松和一种的抗病毒药物，恢复得很好。
