A member asked:
What lab tests (normal blood work) would be off with adrenal insufficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones/it depends,: This can have many tests that are off, primarily hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. Others can be affected as well like sodium and potassium, due to the lack of aldosterone. If the cause is from the hypothalamus, then acth can also be off and this tests is often used in the diagnosis of the kind of adrenal insufficiency. It would be best to see your doctor for these tests to find the cause.
