Plasma from LT containing aprotinin Chemiluminescence 2-7 DaysACTH T010 Indication: To differentiate pituitary-dependent from adrenal tumor hyperadrenocorticism. Interpretive Guidelines: Endogenous ACTH concentrations will be increased (> 45 pg/ml) in approximately 90% of dogs with PDH and will be decreased (< 20 pg/ml) in approximately 60% of dogs with adrenal tumor hyperadrenocorticism. A value between 20 and 45 pg/ml is non-diagnostic. Comments: Use LTT containing aprotinin for sample collection, centrifuge immediately and transfer plasma to a plastic vial. (Antech will provide the necessary tubes.) Transport on ice or cold packs. Do not use any plain, uncoated glass tubes or pipettes. ACTH Response Test 1 ml serum, label tubes “PRE” and “POST” Chemiluminescence 2-7 Days Indication: Investigation of hypoadrenocorticism or hyperadrenocorticism.
