Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) 1
FAQ
What is the reason for increased ACTH?
ACTH levels increase if adrenal glands are not making enough cortisol, or due to a tumor in the endocrine gland.
How are ACTH test results affected by the time of the day?
ACTH levels range from 10-60 pg/mL if the sample is taken early morning, and levels are less than 20 pg/mL if the sample is taken in the late afternoon.
How is Cushing's disease caused by elevated levels of ACTH?
Pituitary adenomas are noncancerous (benign) tumors on the pituitary gland that cause Cushing disease by overproducing the hormone adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Increased ACTH in turn induces the increased production of cortisol.

Sterling Accuris offers an Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Test in Indore to detect disorders of the hypothalamus, pituitary, or adrenal gland.
Overview of the Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Test
Hormones are substances that communicate with organs, skin, muscles, and other tissues via blood, to control a variety of biological processes. The pituitary gland releases a hormone called ACTH, which in turn causes the adrenal gland to release cortisol, also known as the "stress hormone" from the adrenal gland. Therefore, ACTH plays a crucial role in the body’s response to stress.
The Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) test can provide important clues about pituitary and adrenal health, which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Book an Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) test near you to detect disorders that result in too much or too little cortisol.
