Information about Corticotropin (CRH)

Discover your corticotropin levels with our ACTH test

Wondering about your hormonal balance and adrenal function? Our ACTH test gives you more insight into your cortisol levels and hopefully the test results you need to understand and monitor your endocrine health.

How does corticotropin, ACTH, work?

ACTH acts as a conductor for the body's stress response and regulates the production of the important cortisol release. It affects metabolism, the immune system and the reaction to inflammation. The measurement of ACTH gives you a clearer picture of your hormonal response to various stresses.

P-Corticotropin, also known as ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone), is a crucial hormone whose main task is to regulate the production and release of cortisol from your adrenal glands. A well-controlled ACTH level is central to homeostasis, which is the body's ability to maintain a balanced internal environment. Furthermore, out-of-reference ACTH levels can help identify any diseases and health conditions related to your corticotropin levels.

  • Cushing's syndrome, a medical condition in which the body produces too much cortisol.
  • Addison's disease, a condition where the adrenal glands produce too little cortisol, which causes the body to try to compensate by increasing the production of ACTH.
  • Pituitary tumor, tumor in the pituitary gland that can give rise to increased production of ACTH and result in an overproduction of cortisol.
  • Chronic renal failure, even in renal failure, high levels of ACTH can be identified.

Why should I measure my ACTH levels?

Measuring P-Corticotropin gives you insight into the body's ability to handle stress, inflammation and hormonal regulation. Imbalances can indicate potential health problems related to the adrenal glands and endocrine system.

Hormones are substances that control processes in the body and are produced in special glands and cells in the body.
