What is a Cortisol (Random) test?
Cortisol is known to be elevated by stress, but exactly how high it should rise to constitute a normal response in times of severe stress is not known. The cortisol test may be used to help diagnose the Cushing syndrome, a condition associated with excess cortisol, or to help diagnose adrenal insufficiency or Addison's disease, conditions associated with deficient cortisol. For this test, the blood sample can be collected at any time.

When is the Cortisol (Random) test recommended?
It is recommended:To diagnose Cushing’s syndrome.To analyse Addison’s disease.To measure and diagnose conditions of the adrenal glands or pituitary glands.
What does it measure?
The Cortisol (Random) test measures:Cortisol is produced in the adrenal gland and is known as the major adrenal glucocorticoid steroid hormone. Its normal feedback is controlled by the pituitary ACTH and the hypothalamus.Balanced cortisol values are very important for helping to maintain healthy stress levels, immune responses, glucose levels, and blood pressure.Analysing hypoadrenalism usually requires confirmation with ACTH stimulation due to the circadian rhythms of cortisol and other various factors. Higher cortisol levels often look like a loss of a normal diurnal variation at first, but typical causes include adrenal adenomas, pituitary overproduction of ACTH, and production of ACTH by a tumour (notably oat cell cancers).
How long will the reports take?
