About test
What does CORTISOL SERUM (EVENING SAMPLE 4pm -8pm) measure?
This test measures the level of cortisol, a hormone made by the adrenal glands that helps regulate stress response, metabolism, blood pressure, and immune function. Evening cortisol testing may be used to assess the body’s daily cortisol pattern and support evaluation of suspected adrenal gland or pituitary-related hormone disorders. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, timing of testing, and other hormone tests.
