A physician may recommend the Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) if you are experiencing general symptoms such as persistent fatigue, unexplained changes in weight or metabolism, or as part of a routine health screening. It is also used to monitor the effectiveness of ongoing medical treatments.

Preparation requirements vary depending on the specific test parameters. For most blood-based diagnostic tests, fasting for 8 to 12 hours (no food or drink except water) is recommended. Please consult your physician or contact our support team for exact guidelines.

This test measures specific chemical compounds, cellular structures, or hormonal levels in your sample to provide diagnostic indicators for metabolic or systemic health.
Most routine test results are processed and delivered securely to you within 24 to 48 hours from the time of sample collection.
Fasting guidelines depend on the individual biomarkers. It is highly recommended to confirm the requirements with the lab coordinator when booking.

This test is done to measure the level of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. It helps evaluate adrenal and pituitary function and is used in diagnosing conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, Cushing syndrome, or pituitary disorders.

  • If there are symptoms of adrenal insufficiency such as fatigue, weakness, or low blood pressure.
  • If Cushing syndrome is suspected (weight gain, high blood pressure, skin changes).
  • If there are unexplained cortisol abnormalities.
  • If a healthcare provider is assessing pituitary or adrenal gland function.
  • No fasting is usually required (follow lab instructions if combined with cortisol testing).
  • Sample is often taken in the early morning when ACTH levels are highest.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about steroid medications.
  • Follow any instructions provided by the laboratory or healthcare provider.
