The Cortisol Test is used to determine the amount of cortisol in the blood produced by the adrenal glands above the kidneys. Cortisol is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins and the control of blood glucose levels. During a stressful response, cortisol levels may fluctuate. The levels usually are highest in the morning and progressively decrease as the day progresses. The test determines if the adrenal glands are overactive or underactive.

Why Done? 

A cortisol test is used to diagnose issues with the adrenal and pituitary glands and determine whether they are producing enough hormones. Some disorders, such as Cushing's disease and Addison's disease, impact cortisol production, and the test can help diagnose these conditions.

Procedure: 

You'll have blood extracted from an arm vein. 

How does one prepare for the test?
