Yes, assuming all samples were handled correctly.

Am I right to think at least the horse is not PPID?
If ACTH is low because cortisol is high, but ACTH in PPID horses does not respond to high cortisol as it is produced by the medial lobe, then this horse is not PPID is this correct? -- María Durán Navarro Dec 2017 Madrid (Spain) Plutón´s Case History Plutón´s Photo Album _._,_._,_

Thank you Joe,
As Sherry said, the blood work was sent to a lab in Spain. The lab is quite reliable in my experience so the result is at least concerning. I think best is to make sure cortisol levels are correct.

Not sure about Cornell but the testing Maria is asking about was probably not done there as she's in Spain.

FWIW I'm wondering if there is a problem at Cornell with the testing. I recently had bloodwork sent to Cornell and got back extremely low ACTH on 2 PPID horses ACTH: 3 and 4; Both on 1 tab of Prescend daily. Previous multiple tests over several years ACTH in 10-20 range. Vet contacted Cornell and they supposedly re-did the test and got same results. I'm going to have them retested in Sept. -- Joe S. in TX 2020 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Joe%20and%20Shiloh
