  • TEST PREPARATION: The test is done the following way: 1- Your blood is drawn. 2- You then receive a shot (injection) of ACTH, usually into the muscle in your shoulder. The ACTH may be a man-made (synthetic) form. 3- After either 30 minutes or 60 minutes, or both, depending on how much ACTH you receive, your blood is drawn again. 4- The lab checks the cortisol level in the blood samples.

 

You may need to limit activities and eat foods that are high in carbohydrates 12 to 24 hours before the test. You may be asked to fast for 6 hours before the test. Sometimes, no special preparation is needed. You may be asked to temporarily stop taking medicines, such as hydrocortisone, which can interfere with the cortisol blood test
