About ACTH
ACTH is a targeted endocrinology laboratory test that measures ACTH, the pituitary hormone that stimulates adrenal cortisol production. The result is primarily used for adrenal axis and can provide objective laboratory evidence for clinical assessment or follow-up. A properly collected edta plasma specimen is analysed using Immunoassay, with the reported value or finding interpreted against the laboratory's validated procedure and applicable reference information. Hormone-related results can vary with age, sex, time of collection, menstrual or reproductive status and medication use, so these details should accompany the request when relevant.
Sample & Submission Guide
How to package the sample
Collect blood into the anticoagulant tube specified by the receiving laboratory, mix gently, and separate plasma by centrifugation within the required pre-analytical window. Transfer the plasma into a clean, labelled, leak-proof polypropylene aliquot tube without disturbing the cell layer. Keep the separated specimen chilled immediately and transport under controlled cold conditions because this analyte is time- and temperature-sensitive. Place the aliquot in a sealed biohazard bag with absorbent material and avoid unnecessary freeze-thaw cycles. For ACTH, use packaging and preservation compatible with Immunoassay; if the receiving laboratory supplies a dedicated collection kit, bottle or transport medium, that kit takes precedence over general packaging guidance.

Other important instructions
For ACTH, provide age, sex, relevant symptoms and all hormone, fertility or steroid medicines being used. Record the exact collection time because circadian variation can materially affect interpretation. Do not stop prescribed medication unless the treating clinician instructs you to do so; the result should be interpreted with the appropriate clinical and laboratory reference information.
