Description
The Cortisol Test measures the level of cortisol in your blood, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that regulates metabolism, stress response, and blood sugar levels. Often called the โstress hormone,โ cortisol levels fluctuate in response to stress and daily bodily functions.
Why This Test is Important:
-
Evaluate Adrenal Function: Detects conditions like adrenal insufficiency (Addisonโs disease) or Cushingโs syndrome.
-
Monitor Stress and Hormonal Balance: Helps assess chronic stress, fatigue, or unexplained weight changes.
-
Guide Treatment Decisions: Provides essential information for managing endocrine disorders or adjusting therapy.
Convenient Testing Options:
No doctorโs visit is required. Testing is available at home or at our Patient Service Center (PSC) in Central Florida. Nationwide testing options are also available for patients outside Central Florida, providing easy access wherever you are.
Take control of your hormonal health with the Cortisol Test, a simple and reliable way to monitor your stress and adrenal function.
