Spanish term

la prueba de retroalimentacion con dexametasona en alta dosis

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Article about Cushing's disease
Context:
En seguimiento por el servicio de endocrinologia desde los 5 anos por pubertad precoz, presentaba aumento importante de peso desde los 9 anos. Se realiza ****la prueba de retroalimentacion con dexametasona en alta dosis ***** y se confirma el diagnostico de enfermedad de Cushing por microadenoma hipofisario.


I have found: "Dexamethosine suppression test" but I'm not sure if this is correct, and I can't find any reference to a high dose or high dosage relating to this test.

A high-dose dexamethasone suppression test

This is what I used. The "retroalimentación" bit seems to have been made up by the physician who wrote the article. There is not a single hit on Google.

neutral Roxanna Delgado : All your links use "suppression test", not "feedback test". That doesn't exist.
