A member asked:
Is an acth stimulation test w/ results of: baseline cortisol 30 ug/dl; after 30 min: 16.7 ug/dl; and 60 min: 21.3 ug/dl considered normal?

No: ACTH should cause a significant rise in serum cortisol. If someone has told you these numbers are normal, perhaps there is a misunderstanding.

Maybe: seems as though level should rise with stimulation, but baseline level OK or a bit elevated...
