Test Details
Immunohistochemistry ACTH test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence and distribution of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in tissue samples. ACTH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands. The test involves staining tissue sections with specific antibodies that bind to ACTH, which can then be visualized under a microscope. This allows the identification of ACTH-producing cells or tumors in various tissues, such as the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, or other sites where ACTH-producing tumors may occur.
Immunohistochemistry ACTH test is commonly used in the evaluation of patients with suspected ACTH-secreting tumors, such as Cushing’s disease or ectopic ACTH syndrome. It helps in determining the source and extent of ACTH production, which is crucial for guiding treatment decisions. The test results are interpreted by a pathologist, who evaluates the staining intensity, distribution, and localization of ACTH within the tissue sample. This information can aid in the diagnosis and management of ACTH-related disorders.
Overall, immunohistochemistry ACTH test is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and characterization of ACTH-producing tumors, providing important information for patient care.
