adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) stimulation as a screening test for impaired hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis function: sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in comparison with the high-dose (250 microgram) test.
However, in certain situations it may be of importance as pathological conditions may develop in this ectopic tissue similar to those seen in normally situated glands, including hyperplasia and neoplasia.[sup.1] Compensatory functional hypertrophy of these tissues in patients who have undergone bilateral adrenalectomy due to pathologic
adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH) production may occur.
