High levels of ACTH can be indicative of several serious diseases like Addison’s Disease, Cushing’s Disease, CAH, Nelson’s Syndrome, presence of a tumour that may be producing ACTH, and more.

Low levels of ACTH may indicate hypopituitarism, adrenal tumour, and an exogenous form of Cushing’s syndrome.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
