    What is Cortisol - PM Test?

    The Cortisol PM test evaluates the cortisol concentration in your blood during the evening to determine whether it falls within the normal range. Cortisol, a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands situated above the kidneys, responds to signals from the pituitary gland in the brain. Typically, cortisol levels peak in the morning and decrease progressively throughout the day, which is why this test is usually carried out after 4 p.m. to measure evening levels. This hormone is vital for stress management, blood sugar regulation, inflammation control, blood pressure maintenance, and metabolic support. Abnormal cortisol levels in the evening, whether elevated or diminished, may indicate issues with the adrenal or pituitary glands or the presence of a tumour that produces cortisol.

    Left untreated, cortisol imbalances can result in severe health complications, making the Cortisol PM test in Hyderabad an essential diagnostic tool for identifying potential concerns and addressing adrenal and pituitary disorders.

    Cortisol - PM Test Parameters

    The Cortisol PM test focuses on a single parameter: cortisol levels in the evening.

    Cortisol levels naturally drop throughout the day, following the body's circadian rhythm. Lower evening cortisol levels aid in preparing the body for rest and recovery. In healthy individuals, cortisol is highest in the morning and gradually declines, resulting in significantly lower levels by evening—unless their sleep schedule is disrupted.

    Cortisol - PM Test Preparation

    Before undergoing the Cortisol PM test in Hyderabad, it is essential to keep a few key points in mind:

    Prerequisites There is no requirement to fast before taking a Cortisol PM test.

    Best Time to Get Tested This test is generally performed in the evening when cortisol levels naturally drop according to the body’s rhythm.

    Who Should Get a Cortisol PM Test? The test is recommended for individuals showing symptoms associated with Cushing’s or Addison’s disease, both of which involve abnormal cortisol levels.

    Cautions Before Taking a Cortisol PM Test No special precautions are required before the test. If any additional instructions are necessary, your doctor will provide them.

    Why Take the Cortisol - PM Test?

    A doctor may recommend a Cortisol PM test for a variety of reasons, such as:

    • Assess Hormonal Balance: The test measures cortisol levels to determine if they are within a healthy range, which is critical for maintaining overall health.

    • Diagnose Adrenal Disorders: This test aids in identifying conditions like Cushing’s syndrome, marked by high cortisol, or Addison’s disease, characterised by low cortisol levels, both of which can have serious health implications. Symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome may include:

    • Muscle weakness

    • Easy bruising

    • Changes in sex drive

    • Increased fracture risk

    • Weight gain

    • A round face

    • Thin arms and legs

    • Fat deposits around the neck or shoulders

    • Purple marks on the skin

    • High blood pressure

    • A red, round face

    • Slow wound healing

    • Excessive hair growth or hair loss

    • Mood swings

    • Stunted growth in children

    Symptoms of Addison’s disease may include:

    • Irritability

    • Low blood sugar

    • Low blood pressure

    • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea

    • Chronic fatigue

    • Muscle weakness, especially when climbing stairs

    • Loss of appetite and salt cravings

    • Weight loss

    • Abdominal pain

    • Dehydration

    • Darkened skin patches on areas like lips, gums, and palms

    • Irregular menstrual cycles

    • Monitor Medication Effects: The test evaluates the impact of medications that influence cortisol levels to ensure proper hormonal balance.
