What is the ACTH Stimulation Test for Aldosterone?
The ACTH Stimulation Test for Aldosterone measures how the adrenal glands respond to stimulation by Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH). Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate blood pressure, sodium levels, and potassium balance. Blood samples are collected before and after ACTH administration to evaluate adrenal function.
Who should take this test?
- Patients suspected of having adrenal gland disorders.
- Individuals with abnormal aldosterone levels.
- Patients with unexplained high or low blood pressure.
- Evaluation of suspected primary aldosteronism or adrenal insufficiency.
- Doctor-advised endocrine evaluation.
