normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached report.
ACTH level seems to be in the normal range ( upto 52 is considered normal worldwide).
Also cortisol seems to be normal.
I don't think you should worry.
If you need to confirm get it done again in a weeks time to double check the value.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards
Dr Arun
