About test
What does CORTISOL SERUM (MORNING SAMPLE 6am -10am) measure?
This test measures the level of cortisol, a hormone made by the adrenal glands that helps regulate stress response, blood pressure, blood sugar, metabolism, and immune function. A morning cortisol measurement may be used to assess adrenal gland or pituitary function and to investigate symptoms that may be linked to unusually low or high cortisol levels. Results are interpreted alongside medical history, symptoms, and other relevant tests.
