What is Cortisol (R)?

This test measures the level of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, in your blood at a random time. Cortisol plays a vital role in your body's response to stress, metabolism, and immune function.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal cortisol levels can indicate various conditions affecting the adrenal glands, such as Cushing's syndrome (high cortisol) or Addison's disease (low cortisol). It helps assess adrenal function and diagnose related hormonal imbalances.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
