A member asked:
What does a low range for growth hormone (0.1ng/ml) and acth (6pg/ml) mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: A random GH level is not helpful in diagnosing GH deficiency since for most of the day GH levels are low and there are spikes which last only an hour or 2. Low ACTH does not mean much either - it is high ACTH which signals an adrenal problem. Your symptoms do not sound like they are related to lack of pituitary hormones so not sure why GH and ACTH were ordered

At 8am my acth was 80 (7 - 63 pg/ml), my TSH was 5.6 (0.4 - 4 uiu/ml), my cortisol was 535 (138 - 690 nmol/l) could this be related to my mood swings?

Acth plasma is 8 with a range of 6-50 pg/ml. Test was done in the morning before 10am. Would that be considered on the low end of normal?
