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.
