Cortisol Serial ACTH 2

Code
CACTH2
Results
1-2 days.
Country
CA
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube (fasted sample labeled "Pre") and 0.5 serum in red top or serum separator tube (2-hour post sample labeled "Post")
Description
Cortisol Assay, 2 Samples: Pre (Baseline) and Post ACTH Stimulation

This is an ACTH stimulation test that requires two samples: one pre, one post. Results include baseline cortisol and one post-ACTH cortisol.

Interferences: marked hemolysis and lipemia.

Code
ACTH2
Results

Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube for baseline sample (labeled "Pre") and 0.5 serum in red top or serum separator tube for post sample (labeled "Post")
Description
Cortisol Assay, 2 Samples: Pre (Baseline) and Post ACTH Stimulation

This is an ACTH stimulation test that requires two samples: one pre, one post. Results include baseline cortisol and one post-ACTH cortisol.

Interferences: marked hemolysis may affect results, and marked lipemia (if unable to be cleared by centrifugation) may falsely decrease cortisol levels.

Cortisol Serial ACTH 3

Code
CACTH3
Results
1-2 days.
Country
CA
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube for baseline sample (labeled "Pre") and 0.5 serum in red top or serum separator tube for each post sample (post samples labeled"Post")
Description
Cortisol Assay, 3 Samples: Pre (Baseline) and 2 Post ACTH Stimulation

This is an ACTH stimulation test that requires three samples. One pre cortrosyn administration and then two post at established intervals

Interferences: marked hemolysis may affect results, and marked lipemia (if unable to be cleared by centrifugation) may falsely decrease cortisol levels.

This is an ACTH stimulation test that requires three samples. One pre cortrosyn administration and then two post at established intervals.

Interferences: marked hemolysis may affect results, and marked lipemia (if unable to be cleared by centrifugation) may falsely decrease cortisol levels.

Cortisol Serial ACTH 4

Code
CACTH4
Results
1-2 days.
Country
CA
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube for baseline sample (labeled "Pre") and 0.5 serum in red top or serum separator tube for each post sample (post samples labeled"Post")
Description
Cortisol Assay, 4 Samples: Pre (Baseline) and 3 Post ACTH Stimulation

This is an ACTH stimulation test that requires four samples. One pre cortrosyn administration and then three post at established intervals

Interferences: marked hemolysis may affect results, and marked lipemia (if unable to be cleared by centrifugation) may falsely decrease cortisol levels.

Cortisol Serial ACTH 4

Code
ACTH4
Results
1-2 days.
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube for baseline sample (labeled "Pre") and 0.5 serum in red top or serum separator tube for each post sample (post samples labeled"Post")
Description
Cortisol Assay, 4 Samples: Pre (Baseline) and 3 Post ACTH Stimulation

This is an ACTH stimulation test that requires four samples. On pre cortrosyn administration and then 3 post at set intervals.

Interferences: marked hemolysis may affect results, and marked lipemia (if unable to be cleared by centrifugation) may falsely decrease cortisol levels.

Cortisol Serial DEX 2

Code
DEX2
Results
1-2 days.
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube for baseline sample (labeled "Pre") and 0.5 serum in red top or serum separator tube for post sample (labeled "Post")
Description
Cortisol Assay, 2 Samples: Pre (Baseline) and Post Dexamethasone Suppression

This test measures cortisol concentrations before and after administration of exogenous dexamethasone (0 hours followed by an 8-hour sample). This is only a two cortisol assay. The low dose dexamethasone suppression test, a three cortisol sample test (mnemonic CDEX3), is preferred for diagnosing hyperadrenocorticism. The high-dose dexamethasone suppression test, a three cortisol sample test, is used to differentiate pituitary-dependent from adrenal tumor hyperadrenocorticism.

Interferences: marked hemolysis may affect results, and marked lipemia (unable to be cleared by centrifugation) may falsely decrease cortisol levels.

Cortisol Serial DEX 3

Code
DEX3
Results
1-2 days.
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube for baseline sample (labeled "Pre") and 0.5 serum in red top or serum separator tube for each post sample (post samples labeled"Post")
Description
Cortisol Assay, 3 Samples: Pre (Baseline) and 2 Post Dexamethasone Suppression

This test measures cortisol concentrations before and after administration of exogenous dexamethasone. This suppression test requires three samples; baseline cortisol prior to dexamethasone administration and two cortisol levels post dexamethasone administration (4 and 8 hours). The low-dose dexamethasone suppression test is preferred for diagnosing hyperadrenocorticism. The high-dose dexamethasone suppression test is used to differentiate pituitary-dependent from adrenal tumor hyperadrenocorticism.

Interferences: marked hemolysis may affect results, and marked lipemia (unable to be cleared by centrifugation) may falsely decrease cortisol levels.
