Cortisol - Total-Urine

This test measures total cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, in urine. Cortisol helps regulate metabolism, blood pressure, stress response, and immune activity. A healthcare professional may order this test to evaluate cortisol production over time when symptoms or clinical findings suggest possible changes in adrenal or pituitary hormone function. Results are interpreted along with medical history, symptoms, examination findings, and other laboratory tests.
