    What is Cortisol - PM Test?

    A Cortisol PM test measures the level of cortisol in your blood in the evening to determine if it is within the normal range. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, in response to signals from the pituitary gland in the brain. Cortisol levels are typically highest in the morning and gradually decrease throughout the day, which is why the Cortisol-PM test is usually conducted after 4 p.m. to assess evening levels. It plays a key role in managing stress, regulating blood sugar levels, reducing inflammation, maintaining blood pressure, and supporting metabolism. Abnormal cortisol levels in the evening, whether too high or too low, may indicate an issue with the adrenal or pituitary glands or the presence of a cortisol-producing tumour.

    Untreated cortisol imbalances can lead to serious health complications, making a Cortisol PM test in Bangalore a crucial step in diagnosing potential problems. This test aids in managing issues related to adrenal and pituitary function.

    Cortisol - PM Test Parameters

    The Cortisol PM test measures only one parameter: cortisol levels in the evening.

    Cortisol levels naturally decline throughout the day due to the body's circadian rhythm. In the evening, lower cortisol levels help the body prepare for rest and recovery. In healthy individuals, cortisol peaks in the morning and gradually decreases, with evening levels being much lower—unless the person has an irregular sleep schedule.

    • Good experience everytime except one where phlebotomist didn't prick correctly. My wife had much pain even after few days and it looked like some clot had happened.
