Research Notes on ACTH Deficiency
ACTH deficiency is a rare endocrine disorder also known as hypopituitarism. It can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms -- weight loss, lack of appetite, nausea, weakness and low blood pressure -- are similar to those of many other diseases. Treatment usually involves doses of hydrocortisone.
