ACTH Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Test in Varanasi
Also known as: Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Test
Overview
The measurement of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) levels in plasma serves a crucial clinical purpose in assessing both adrenal insufficiency and hypersecretion. ACTH, produced by the pituitary gland, regulates the adrenal glands' production of cortisol. Low plasma ACTH levels are indicative of primary adrenal insufficiency, also known as Addison's disease, where the adrenal glands fail to produce sufficient cortisol. Conversely, high plasma ACTH levels are associated with secondary adrenal insufficiency, often due to pituitary dysfunction. In cases of hypersecretion, excessive ACTH production can result in Cushing's syndrome, marked by elevated cortisol levels. Thus, measuring plasma ACTH levels aids in diagnosing and differentiating adrenal disorders, guiding appropriate treatment strategies for patients.
