ACTH (Plasma) Test

Offered at MedEx Neo Clinic

At MedEx Neo Clinic, we offer precise hormone testing to support better understanding and management of your health. The ACTH (Plasma) Test measures the level of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) in the blood — a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol.

This test helps in evaluating how well the pituitary and adrenal glands are functioning. ACTH plays a key role in the body's response to stress and maintaining proper levels of blood pressure, glucose, and immune response.
