sympathetikey *ACTH +

meningitis If im not mistaken, Dexamethosone also fails to suppress ACTH = Adrenal Gland Adenoma +1

therealloureed I think an adrenal gland tumor would have low/undetectable ACTH? aka no dex suppression +16

bigjimbo Low ACTH = adrenal adenoma High ACTH, suppressible = Pituatary adenoma High ACTH, non-suppressible = SCLC +15

rozeng I thought the it's a SCLC because it took SEVERAL DAYS :S +
