Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 An ACTH serum tests how much ACTH you have at a given time, and ACTH STIM test will tell the difference between PRIMARY (Adrenal failure) or Secondary ( pituitary) problems. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote
