adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth)

What are the Treatment Options for Abnormal ACTH Levels?

Treatment depends on the underlying condition causing the abnormal ACTH levels:
Corticosteroid Replacement: For conditions like neonatal adrenal insufficiency, corticosteroid replacement is often required to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Hydrocortisone Therapy: In cases of CAH, hydrocortisone is commonly used to suppress excessive ACTH production and normalize cortisol levels.
Infection Management: If sepsis or another infection is affecting ACTH levels, appropriate antimicrobial therapy and supportive care are crucial.
