The ACTH stimulation test is primarily used to diagnose:
- Adrenal Insufficiency: Conditions like Addison's disease where the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol. - Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A genetic disorder affecting cortisol synthesis. - Cushing's Syndrome: Characterized by excessive cortisol production. - Hypopituitarism: A condition where the pituitary gland fails to produce adequate ACTH.
