A member asked:

Can prednisone affect an acth stimulation test? i'm on 5 mg daily for months and will have test in 1 week!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Normally switch patients to Hydrocortisone for a week before a stim test. It is short acting Prednisone will keep acth suppressed and not allow your pituitary respond to stimulate cortisol production.
