Description:
Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands (located above each kidney) do not work normally and do not produce enough hormones. Addison's disease may also be called chronic adrenal insufficiency or hypocortisolism.

This screen is used to aid in the diagnosis of Addison's disease.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Urinalysis Complete Profile: Color; appearance; specific gravity; pH; protein; glucose; occult blood; ketones; leukocyte esterase; nitrite; bilirubin; urobilinogen; microscopic examination of urine sediment.

Patient Instructions: Patient should fast for 12 hours preceding collection of specimen. ACTH should be drawn between 7 AM and 10 AM. If drawn at any other time, the reference ranges do not apply.
