About test
What does URINARY CORTISOL (24 Hours urine) measure?
This test measures the amount of cortisol excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Cortisol is a hormone involved in the body's response to stress and in regulating metabolism, blood pressure, and immune activity. The test may be used to evaluate cortisol production when a healthcare professional suspects a hormone imbalance. Results are interpreted alongside medical history, examination findings, and other hormone tests.
