Results are in - T3/T4. Does anyone know what the lower ranges for serum ACTH and DHEA are? My area uses 0 so I’m ‘normal’ apparently

The only thing is, the ranges for ACTH and DHEA start at zero, which I thought was weird. Also, I wouldn’t have tested my TSH, FT3 and FT4 yet as I’ve been slowly raising my T3 dose and got to 20 mcg a few weeks ago. What do you think? Any pearls of wisdom?The only thing is, the ranges for ACTH and DHEA start at zero, which I thought was weird.

Further tests

Hello, I am in the process of having further tests, one of which is for low cortisol and so an ACTH test is scheduled? Is it common for such a test to be given at a GP practice as I thought this was done by the endocrinologist?Hello, I am in the process of having further tests, one of which is for low cortisol and so an ACTH test is scheduled?

Cortisol Tests

The same again this week at 9.00 am by GP was 268 nmol/L I believe the next step will be for an ACTH but waiting to speak with my GP. Should I be concerned about these low results?

New Results, Need Advice Please.

ACTH, Aldosterone, DHEAS are elevated. Could this be an adrenal issue? I would appreciate any suggestion from you knowledgeable members. He suggested increasing T4 to 125mcg and decreasing T3 to 5 mcg. I’m confused as to what I should do.ACTH, Aldosterone, DHEAS are elevated. Could this be an adrenal issue?

Levothyroxine with Hydrocortisone

I am ACTH deficient (secondary Addison's Disease), so take Hydrocortisone as replacement therapy x3daily, and have done for 8 years now. (Looks like another function of my pituitary is now failing and becoming TSH deficient, hence symptoms of hypothyroidism).I am ACTH deficient (secondary Addison's Disease), so take Hydrocortisone as replacement therapy x3daily, and have done for 8 years now.

Secondary adrenal insufficiancy??

I find it ironic that the very drug i was given all those years ago which could of caused my long term health issues is the same drug they use to do a 'one off' acth test. Is there anyone else ever been medicated long term with synacthen?I find it ironic that the very drug i was given all those years ago which could of caused my long term health issues is the same drug they use to do a 'one off' acth test.
