Cortisol Analysis

Cortisol analysis measures the levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which helps regulate metabolism, immune response, and stress. This test can be done through blood, saliva, or urine samples to assess how well your body is managing stress or to diagnose conditions like adrenal or pituitary gland disorders. Elevated or low cortisol levels can indicate health issues such as chronic stress, Addison’s disease, or Cushing’s syndrome. The results help healthcare providers understand your hormonal balance and develop appropriate treatment plans if needed.
