What are other names for acth test?
by North48, Oct 22, 2009 12:52PM
Is the Corticotropin (P) the same test as the ACTH? I'm just trying to figure out some of these names on the labs.

Corticotropin is a CRH stim test - that is for Cushing's, I had that done. I had some flushing, but was otherwise fine. Have you taken dex every 6 hours for ... what is it, 5 days or so?
I was thinking the acth was the hormone that the pituitary released for the adrenals to release cortisol. Kind of like the thyroid with TSH and T4,T3.
Can the ACTH test be done to diagnose cushings?
What is the corticotropin (P) test any ideas?
