Synacthene test - Results!

[TomPlatz]

Hi guys!!!

Thanx for all the great info and help!!

I ve just got my synacthene test results ( and forwarded them to my endocrinologist - takes about 7-10 days to get back to me).

He subscribed this test because a hormonal test (11st of February) showed that my cortisol levels were low in the morning (COR 6,8 μg/dL 3,7-19,4)

I would appreciate any suggestions.

I live in Greece.

17-ΟΗ .......time 0' ................0,9............... adults range 0,4-2,3 ng/ml

17-OH ........time30' ...........1,8

17-OH .........time 60'...........2,1

corisol ........time 0' ........ ...........11,35 ...................range 6,2 - 19,4 μg/dl

cortisol (ACTH)....time 30' ......18,61

cortisol (ACTH) ....time 60' ........21,95

I'm not used to those units for cortisol & OH 17, however it looks like your base levels were good & you responded well to the artificial ACTH, so it doesn't look as though your adrenal glands have a problem making cortisol which is good news;
