    What is Cortisol - AM Test?

    The Cortisol-AM test evaluates the concentration of cortisol in the blood in the morning to determine if the cortisol levels are within a normal range. Cortisol is a hormone essential for regulating various bodily functions and is usually at its peak in the morning. It is produced by the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, in response to hormone signals from the pituitary gland in the brain.

    Cortisol helps manage the body's response to stress, which is why it is often called the "stress hormone." Additionally, cortisol controls blood sugar levels, reduces inflammation, maintains blood pressure, and supports metabolism. Abnormally high or low cortisol levels may indicate an underlying issue with the adrenal or pituitary glands or can even suggest the presence of a cortisol-producing tumour.

    Untreated imbalances in cortisol levels can lead to severe health complications, making the Cortisol-AM test at home a convenient option to help identify potential issues. This test helps in detecting and managing any underlying issues related to adrenal and pituitary function.

    Cortisol - AM Test Parameters

    The Cortisol-AM test checks for only one parameter: the cortisol levels in the morning.

    Cortisol naturally peaks in the morning as a part of the body's circadian rhythm, preparing you for the day. This hormone surge enhances alertness, boosts energy, regulates blood sugar, and manages stress. In healthy individuals, cortisol levels typically fluctuate throughout the day, peaking in the morning and decreasing by evening— though this pattern can be disrupted by working late hours or irregular shift schedules.

    Cortisol - AM Test Preparation

    Consider the following before getting the Cortisol-AM test in Bangalore:

    • Prerequisites

    You do not need to fast before getting a Cortisol-AM test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    This test is usually done in the morning when cortisol levels are the highest.

    • Who Should Get a Cortisol-AM Test?

    You may need this test if you have symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease caused by abnormal cortisol levels.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Cortisol-AM Test

    No special precautions are needed before taking this test. Your doctor will inform you if there are any additional requirements.

    Why Take the Cortisol - AM Test?

    Some reasons why a doctor might order a Cortisol-AM test include:

    • Evaluate Hormonal Balance : The test helps evaluate cortisol levels to determine if they are within the normal range to give insights into hormonal balance.

    • Identify Adrenal Disorders : It can help diagnose conditions such as Cushing's syndrome (indicated by high cortisol levels) or Addison's disease (indicated by low cortisol levels), which can significantly impact your health. Symptoms of Cushing's syndrome include:

    • Loss of appetite and cravings for salty foods

    • Weight loss

    • Abdominal pain

    • Dehydration

    • Nausea and vomiting or diarrhoea
