What is CORTISOL (PM)?
This test measures your cortisol level in the evening, typically when it's at its lowest point. Cortisol levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day, following a diurnal rhythm.
Why is this test important?
Evening cortisol levels are important for evaluating the body's natural cortisol rhythm. An abnormally high evening cortisol level can indicate conditions like Cushing's syndrome, while low levels might suggest adrenal insufficiency.
How to Prepare
You will need to have your blood drawn in the evening, as instructed by your doctor, typically around 4 PM to 6 PM.
