Individual tests

ACTH is a pituitary gland hormone that controls cortisol production. Cortisol, an adrenal gland hormone helps you respond to stress, fight infection, and regulate blood sugar and blood pressure. The test is often done with a cortisol test to diagnose pituitary or adrenal gland disorders.
Albumin is a protein produced by your liver. It helps keep fluid from leaking from your blood vessels into other tissue. Without enough albumin, fluid can leak out of your blood and build up in your lungs, abdomen (belly), or other parts of your body. Albumin also carries hormones, vitamins, and enzymes. Low albumin levels can indicate liver or kidney disease or a lack of protein.
