| Usage: | Diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency is clinically challenging and often requires an ACTH stimulation test. The cortisol response to infusion of synthetic ACTH is useful in diagnosing patients with adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease). An increase in cortisol levels after stimulation with ACTH is normal. Post-stimulation cortisol level should be greater than 20 mcg/dL. The abnormal test is indicative of Addison’s disease, low pituitary function, pituitary tumors & acute adrenal crisis. | ||||||
