A member asked:
What can high acth levels at 2:30pm indicate? i'm trying to figure out what is causing my chronic fatigue syndrome.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deficiency: The high acth levels could indicate sluggish function of your adrenal glands as seen in Addison's disease which can cause chronic fatigue as well as electrolyte abnormalities. However an endocrinologist is best qualified to evaluate andtreat you and investigate the cause of your elevated acth level.
