What is Corticosteroid-binding Globulin (CBG)?

This test measures the level of Corticosteroid-binding Globulin (CBG), a protein in your blood that transports cortisol and other steroid hormones. CBG levels can affect the amount of active cortisol available to your body's tissues.

Why is this test important?

CBG levels are important for understanding overall cortisol status, especially when cortisol levels are abnormal. Abnormal CBG can be associated with conditions like thyroid disorders, estrogen level changes, or liver disease, influencing how cortisol affects the body.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
