There are three major components of the control of ACTH and consequently cortisol secretion: an inherent diurnal rhythmicity (peak ACTH and cortisol levels occur in the early morning (5 to 8 A.M.), while the lowest levels occur at about midnight); a closed-loop feedback system which responds to changes in the levels of circulating cortisol; and ...

The “dexamethasone” suppression testing is also a key test in the evaluation of possible Cushing’s; recall that in healthy people, high blood levels of cortisol “turn off” or “turn down” pituitary secretion of ACTH by the normal negative feedback mechanism; dexamethasone is a cortisol-like hormone and is given to patients in this ...

Dx - assess cortisol excess, determine if pathologic, and ACTH-dependence: Cortisol excess - see if 24 hr urine cortisol > 100. Pathologic excess - low-dose dexamethasone should suppress cortisol… won’t if diseased. ACTH dependence - is ACTH normal/high (ACTH-dependent), or low (ACTH-independent)

As mentioned above, in primary adrenal insufficiency, blood cortisol is low so this triggers the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to ultimately increase ACTH secretion (to attempt to “whip” the adrenal to put out more cortisol to raise the blood level to normal); thus, in primary adrenal insufficiency, blood cortisol is low and ACTH is high;
