Description
This test measures the level of cortisol in the body half an hour after a specific injection.

The test helps in assessing adrenal gland function and diagnosing conditions such as Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, and adrenal insufficiency. It involves administering a corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) injection, followed by blood sample collection after 30 minutes to measure cor....
