Understanding Your Adrenal Health: The 17OHP ACTH Stimulation Test
When you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms like fatigue, growth concerns, or hormonal imbalances, it can be worrying not knowing the cause. The 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) Stimulation by ACTH Test provides the clarity you need to understand your adrenal function and take control of your health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
This specialised test measures how your adrenal glands respond to ACTH stimulation, helping diagnose conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and other adrenal disorders. By assessing your body’s cortisol production pathway, we can identify hormonal imbalances that might be affecting your energy levels, growth patterns, and overall wellbeing.

This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained fatigue or weakness
- Growth concerns in children
- Early or delayed puberty
- Abnormal hair growth patterns
- Menstrual irregularities in females
- Family history of adrenal disorders
- Unexplained weight changes
