    What is Cortisol - AM Test?

    The Cortisol-AM test evaluates cortisol levels in the blood during the morning to ensure they fall within a normal range. Cortisol is a hormone that plays a central role in many bodily processes and is typically at its highest in the morning. Produced by the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys, cortisol is regulated by hormonal signals from the pituitary gland, found in the brain.

    Often called the "stress hormone," cortisol is important in helping the body cope with stress. Additionally, it regulates blood sugar levels, controls inflammation, stabilizes blood pressure, and supports metabolism. Abnormal cortisol levels may point to issues in the adrenal or pituitary glands or, in some cases, suggest the presence of a tumour that produces cortisol.

    If left untreated, cortisol imbalances can cause severe health problems. Performing the Cortisol-AM test at home, offers a simple way to identify and address any potential issues linked to adrenal or pituitary gland function.

    Cortisol - AM Test Parameters

    The Cortisol-AM test is focused solely on measuring morning cortisol levels

    Cortisol is typically at its highest in the morning as part of the body’s circadian rhythm, preparing you for the day ahead. This increase in cortisol helps boost alertness, elevate energy levels, regulate blood sugar, and control stress. In healthy individuals, cortisol levels follow a daily cycle, peaking in the morning and tapering off by the evening. However, this natural rhythm can be altered by irregular work hours or late shifts.

    Cortisol - AM Test Preparation

    It’s important to take the following into account before undergoing a Cortisol-AM test in Gurgaon:

    ● Prerequisites Fasting is not necessary prior to taking this test.

    ● Best Time to Get Tested Cortisol levels are highest in the morning, making this the best time for the test.

    ● Who Should Get a Cortisol-AM Test? This test may be recommended for individuals showing symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease, both conditions caused by abnormal cortisol levels.

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

    Why Take the Cortisol - AM Test?

    A doctor may recommend a Cortisol-AM test for several purposes:

    ● Assess Hormonal Balance: The test measures cortisol to evaluate whether hormone levels are within the normal range, offering insights into overall balance.

    ● Identify Adrenal Disorders: It helps diagnose adrenal gland disorders like Cushing’s syndrome (elevated cortisol) or Addison’s disease (lower cortisol), both of which can cause serious health problems. Common symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome include:

    • Mood swings

    • Diabetes

    Signs of Addison’s disease may include:

    • Muscle weakness, particularly during tasks like stair climbing

    • Loss of appetite with cravings for salty foods

    • Weight loss

    • Abdominal pain

    • Dehydration

    • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea

    Highest Rated Diagnostic Lab

    • I found Orange Health Labs while searching for a comprehensive allergy test. They offer the best price for this test among all the online pharmacies. None of 1mg, Netmeds, PharmEasy or Max have the option of a complete allergy test (236 allergens) at Rs 5000. So this is a huge bonus for common people like me. The sample collection staff was so good at their job, I didn't even feel when the needle was inserted and when the test was done also. Super polite customer service, digital payment, deep discount on allergy tests make this a highly recommended service. I had a marvelous experience with them.
