What is ACTH stimulation test Cortisol

The ACTH stimulation test is a medical test that measures the ability of the adrenal gland to produce cortisol in response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). During the test, a baseline cortisol level is measured, then a synthetic version of ACTH is administered, and cortisol levels are measured again after 30 and 60 minutes. The test is used to diagnose adrenal insufficiency and to differentiate between primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency.
