Treatment depends on whether ACTH levels are too high or too low. High ACTH from pituitary or ectopic tumors may need surgery, radiation, or medication. Low ACTH is treated with hormone replacement therapy and management of underlying causes.

Treatment Options

• High ACTH: Surgery, radiation, or drugs to control cortisol.
• Low ACTH: Corticosteroid replacement (hydrocortisone or prednisone).
• Regular hormone monitoring ensures balanced cortisol levels.
