Effect of ACTH Stimulation on Ischemia-Modified Albumin Levels in vivo

CONCLUSION: IMA levels decrease rapidly after standard-dose ACTH stimulation, while a decrease in IMA levels is not observed after low-dose ACTH stimulation. The lack of decrease in IMA levels after low-dose ACTH stimulation suggests a possible dose-dependent relationship between ACTH and IMA. The moderate increase in cortisol with no reduction in IMA levels after low-dose ACTH stimulation and the weak correlation between peak cortisol and 30th-minute IMA levels after standard-dose ACTH stimulation suggest that ACTH may have a direct effect on IMA.PMID:37937903 | DOI:10.4274/jcrpe.galenos.2023.2023-5-22
