A member asked:
Acth level is less than 1.0 with normal cortisol (8). does this indicate any issues with thyroprotein level of 3? thanks

Pituitary: If we suspect cortisol insufficiency, need to do stimulation tests. Random ACTH, Cortisol are not reliable..they are pulsatile harmones. Your random cortisol is in range.
