Hello,
The normal ranges are an increase in cortisol after stimulation by ACTH is expected. Cortisol level after ACTH stimulation should be higher than 18 to 20 mcg/dL or 497 to 552 nmol/L, depending on the dose of ACTH used.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
