    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.

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

    • Prerequisites

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • My experience with Orange labs have been excellent so far. Have relied on their home visit for regular blood tests given that it is a case of dengue, and close monitoring of the blood count is essential. They are prompt as promised and the results too are available within committed time lines. As to accuracy of results, I rely on the lab certifications to give me confidence. Would have wanted a voice interface ( a number to call ) for a first time experience, and an ability to order for quicker reports (2 hours) for a differential charge. For the service delivered as published, it is a 5-star
