    What is Cortisol - AM Test?

    The Cortisol-AM test is designed to check cortisol levels in the blood during the morning hours to see if they fall within a normal range. Cortisol, a hormone that is crucial for a variety of bodily functions, typically peaks in the morning. It is produced by the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys, in response to signals from the pituitary gland, found in the brain.

    Cortisol helps the body handle stress, which is why it is sometimes called the "stress hormone." It also plays a role in controlling blood sugar levels, reducing inflammation, regulating blood pressure, and supporting metabolic functions. Abnormally high or low levels of cortisol may indicate issues with the adrenal or pituitary glands, or even suggest a tumour that produces cortisol.

    If imbalances in cortisol are not addressed, they can lead to serious health issues. The Cortisol-AM test at home, is a convenient way to identify any potential issues and manage adrenal or pituitary gland dysfunctions.

    Cortisol - AM Test Parameters

    The primary goal of the Cortisol-AM test is to evaluate morning cortisol levels.

    Cortisol reaches its highest concentration in the morning as part of the body’s circadian rhythm, preparing you for the day. This surge of cortisol enhances alertness, boosts energy, regulates blood sugar, and helps manage stress. In people with normal circadian rhythms, cortisol levels peak in the morning and gradually decline throughout the day. However, this natural pattern may be disrupted by late-night work or irregular shift schedules.

    Cortisol - AM Test Preparation

    Be sure to consider the following before getting the Cortisol-AM test in Delhi:

    ● Prerequisites Fasting is not a requirement for this test.

    ● Best Time to Get Tested The morning is the ideal time for the test, as this is when cortisol levels peak.

    ● Who Should Get a Cortisol-AM Test? This test may be needed if you show signs of Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease, which result from abnormal cortisol levels.

    ● Cautions Before Taking a Cortisol-AM Test No special precautions are needed, but your doctor will inform you of any additional steps if necessary.

    Why Take the Cortisol - AM Test?

    A Cortisol-AM test may be recommended by your doctor for the following reasons:

    ● Evaluate Hormonal Balance: This test assesses whether cortisol levels are within the normal range, helping to evaluate hormonal balance.

    ● Identify Adrenal Disorders: The test can assist in diagnosing adrenal-related conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome (high cortisol) or Addison’s disease (low cortisol), which can severely impact health. Symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome may include:
