If the patient has Addison's disease, the cortisol level would ________. If the patient has hypopituitarism, the levels would _______. Group of answer choices Increase; decrease Decrease; increase Increase; remain the same Remain the same; increase Decrease; decrease

If ACTH levels are lower than normal, where is the tumor? How do you know? Remember, this person has high cortisol levels 2 Conduct a corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation test where you inject a shot of CRH.
