ACTH (Plasma) Test

Offered at MedEx Neo Clinic

At MedEx Neo Clinic, the ACTH (Plasma) Test is offered to evaluate how well your adrenal and pituitary glands are functioning. ACTH stands for Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. Its primary role is to stimulate the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, a hormone essential for managing stress, metabolism, immune function, and blood pressure.

Measuring the level of ACTH in your blood helps doctors diagnose adrenal gland disorders such as Cushing’s syndrome (too much cortisol), Addison’s disease (too little cortisol), or issues related to pituitary tumors. This test is often ordered alongside a cortisol test for a complete assessment.
