Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 <<It is not directlky from the HC that the results are skewed. It takes abotu a week for ACTH to return to normal once HC ios stopped and then another week for adrnals to be able to produce as much as they can once the ACTH stimulaiton is backto normal.>> Is this a viable alternative to going off the HC to do ACTH test?: " You could also go for an AM ACTH serum test without taking HC before the draw, make certain you are late for your dose. It should be high normal. If not, then you know the problem is pit. " How late for the dose should you be before having the test done? Just skip morning dose and take after? I need to get this done, but cannot go off HC right now, so trying to figure out the best way to do this. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
