    What is Cortisol - PM Test?

    A Cortisol PM test measures the level of cortisol in the bloodstream during the evening to ensure it remains within a normal range. Cortisol is a hormone released by the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, in response to signals from the brain’s pituitary gland. Generally, cortisol levels are at their peak in the morning and decline throughout the day, which is why this test is typically performed after 4 p.m. to evaluate evening levels. Cortisol plays a critical role in stress management, blood sugar control, inflammation reduction, blood pressure regulation, and metabolism support. Deviations from normal evening cortisol levels, whether excessively high or unusually low, could suggest problems with the adrenal or pituitary glands or a cortisol-secreting tumour.

    Without intervention, such imbalances may lead to serious health issues, making a Cortisol PM test in Mumbai an important step in diagnosing and managing adrenal and pituitary gland dysfunction.

    Cortisol - PM Test Parameters

    The Cortisol PM test assesses only one parameter: evening cortisol levels.

    Cortisol levels naturally decrease over the course of the day, guided by the body's circadian rhythm. This decline supports the body’s transition to rest and recovery in the evening. Typically, cortisol levels peak in the morning and taper off by evening, unless an irregular sleep pattern is present.

    Cortisol - PM Test Preparation

    When planning to take the Cortisol PM test in Mumbai, it is important to consider the following aspects:

    Prerequisites Fasting is not required before the Cortisol PM test.

    Best Time to Get Tested The test is typically conducted in the evening to measure cortisol levels when they are naturally lower in line with the body’s circadian rhythm.

    Who Should Get a Cortisol PM Test? This test is often advised for individuals experiencing symptoms of conditions such as Cushing’s or Addison’s disease, which affect cortisol levels.

    Cautions Before Taking a Cortisol PM Test No specific preparations are needed for this test. Your doctor will inform you if any additional guidelines are necessary.
