National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Sarkar SB, Sarkar S, Ghosh S, Bandyopadhyay S. Imaging tests, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), would be ordered to check for any abnormalities in adrenal glands themselves.The test compares cortisol and blood glucose levels before and after an insulin shot to see if the pituitary gland responds as it should. Insulin-induced hypoglycemia test is used to diagnose secondary adrenal insufficiency.Autoantibody studies can be used to detect proteins, called 21-hydroxylase antibodies, associated with autoimmune adrenalitis.A cortisol value of 7 mcg/dL or more at baseline increasing to 20 micrograms per decilitre (mcg/dL) or more in 30 to 60 minutes excludes adrenal insufficiency as the cause. The test compares cortisol levels before and after an ACTH injection. ACTH stimulation test involves the use of a synthetic ACTH called Cosyntropin (tetracosactide).A cortisol value of 25 micrograms per decilitre (mcg/dL) or more excludes adrenal insufficiency of any kind. Serum cortisol tests can be used to measure the levels of cortisol in your blood.
