Extraction morning (8H) : Less than 40 pg/mL Extraction evening (20H) : Less than 20 pg/mL             Version of Test: 2

Extraction morning (8H) : Less than 40 pg/mL Extraction evening (20H) : Less than 20 pg/mL   ACTH exhibits a circadian secretion rhythm, regulated by light and dark cycles. The ACTH concentration reaches its peak upon waking and decreases throughout the day, reaching a minimum concentration around midnight. Other factors such as pain, fever, and hypoglycemia also stimulate ACTH secretion. ACTH secretion is used to evaluate the functionality of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.                Version of Test: 3

According to estimates, we expect to reactivate the tests using a new procedure (EIA) starting March 31. Pending samples will be preserved under optimal conditions until they can be processed.

We kindly ask that, given the situation, the submission of new samples be avoided until further notice, and that this information be shared with all your clients.
