CORTISOL RESPONSE TO INFUSION OF SYNTHETIC ACTH IS USEFUL IN DIAGNOSING PATIENTS WITH ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY (ADDISONS DISEASE). AN INCREASE IN CORTISOL LEVELS AFTER STIMULATION WITH ACTH IS NORMAL. POST-STIMULATION CORTISOL LEVEL SHOULD BE GREATER THAN 20 MCG/DL. ABNORMAL TEST IS INDICATIVE OF ADDISONS DISEASE, LOW PITUITARY FUNCTION, PITUITARY TUMORS & ACUTE ADRENAL CRISIS.
