Write actual time drawn on the tube. 0.2mL serum (SST) each Refrigerate. Freeze if stored more than 3 days. Results available daily Chemiluminescence Pre and 1-hour post Drug Synthetic ACTH Dosage 0.25mg IV or 5ug/kg. (See test procedure section) Baseline cortisol 1.0-5.0ug/dL. ACTH post stimulation 10-20ug/dL. Values above 20ug/dL in the post ACTH cortisol assay are suggestive of hyperadrenocorticism. However, these results are not specific for hyperadrenocorticism. Dogs with a variety of disease processes may have ACTH stimulation assay results in the same range as dogs with hyperadrenocorticism. The diagnosis of hyperadrenocorticism must be further substantiated by appropriate clinical signs and other laboratory assay results. Baseline cortisol results that are low or below limit of detection which fail to increase with the administration of ACTH are consistent with hypoadrenocorticism. 1mL serum (pre-drug & post-drug) Fast the patient approximately 12 hrs (preferred, not essential) and collect 3mL of blood.
