The ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) Blood Test measures the levels of ACTH in the blood, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. This test is essential for diagnosing disorders related to adrenal or pituitary function. It is commonly used to evaluate conditions such as Cushing’s Syndrome, Addison’s Disease, or secondary adrenal insufficiency.

High ACTH Levels: May indicate Addison’s Disease, Cushing’s Disease, or ectopic ACTH production. Low ACTH Levels: Suggest adrenal tumors or secondary adrenal insufficiency due to pituitary dysfunction. Conditions Monitored: Addison’s Disease Cushing’s Syndrome Adrenal insufficiency Pituitary gland dysfunction
