    What is Cortisol (Random) Test?

    A Cortisol test evaluates the level of cortisol, a hormone produced by your adrenal glands, in your body. Cortisol, also referred to as the stress hormone, plays a key role in managing stress, reducing inflammation, regulating blood sugar, metabolism, and controlling blood pressure. The adrenal glands produce cortisol, but its production is regulated by the pituitary gland in the brain. This test helps identify whether your cortisol levels are too high or too low.

    Higher/lower than normal cortisol levels may suggest issues with either the adrenal or pituitary glands or could indicate a tumour affecting cortisol production. If you're in Gurgaon and want to assess your cortisol levels, schedule a Cortisol test today.

    Cortisol (Random) Test Parameters

    The Cortisol (Random) test measures a single parameter: cortisol levels in your blood sample at the time of the test. This test is primarily used to diagnose two medical conditions—Addison's disease and Cushing's syndrome. It may also be performed if your doctor suspects an adrenal crisis, which can present with symptoms such as tiredness, weakness, confusion, sudden abdominal pain, or extremely low blood pressure.

    Low cortisol levels might indicate Addison's disease, characterised by symptoms including joint and muscle pain, extreme fatigue, abdominal pain, low blood pressure, vomiting or nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, and depression.

    Conversely, high cortisol levels may point to Cushing's syndrome, which can manifest through symptoms such as high blood pressure, obesity, thin skin, elevated blood sugar, a hump between the shoulders at the base of the neck, muscle weakness, acne, and osteoporosis.

    Your doctor might also request urine cortisol or salivary cortisol levels alongside this test. If there is a suspicion of a tumour or abnormal growth, you may need an MRI or CT scan as well.

    Cortisol (Random) Test Preparation

    It’s important to consider several key factors before undergoing a Cortisol (Random) test:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no need for fasting prior to the Cortisol test. However, if your doctor has ordered other tests, you will receive specific instructions regarding any fasting requirements.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    As fasting is not required, the Cortisol test can be performed at any time throughout the day. Nonetheless, cortisol levels are generally highest in the morning.

    • Who Should Consider a Cortisol Test

    Your doctor may suggest a Cortisol (Random) test following a careful assessment of your symptoms and health status. This test may be indicated if you present with symptoms of adrenal disorders, such as fatigue, muscle weakness, unexplained weight changes, or mood shifts, or to evaluate how your body handles stress.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Cortisol Test

    There are no special preparations required for the Cortisol test. However, since stress can elevate cortisol levels, it may be beneficial to rest prior to the test. Be sure to notify your doctor of any medications or supplements you are taking, as these may affect your test results.

    Why Take the Cortisol (Random) Test?

    A Cortisol (Random) test measures cortisol levels at any time of day, without considering typical fluctuations. This test has several important applications:

    • Facilitating Early Diagnosis : It aids in diagnosing conditions related to cortisol imbalances, like Cushing's syndrome (high cortisol) or Addison's disease (low cortisol).

    • Evaluation of Adrenal Function : If you have symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings, a random cortisol test can help determine the health of your adrenal glands.

    • Assessing Stress Response : Known as the “stress hormone,” cortisol levels can provide insights into how your body copes with stress.

    • Monitoring Treatment Outcomes : If you're receiving treatment for a condition that affects cortisol levels, this test can evaluate the effectiveness of that treatment.

    Thus, the Cortisol test is instrumental in diagnosing and treating conditions such as adrenal disorders, including Cushing’s syndrome and Addison’s disease.

    Cortisol (Random) Test Results and Interpretation

    An accurate interpretation of your Cortisol test results is crucial for diagnosing and managing health conditions. The test findings can be interpreted in the following ways:

    Test ParameterNormal Range
    Cortisol, Random (Serum, Chemiluminescent Immunoassay)Morning sample: 4.46-22.7 µg/dL Evening sample: 1.7-14.1 µg/dL

    High cortisol levels can signal Cushing's syndrome, which may result from prolonged steroid use, tumours in the pituitary or adrenal glands, or other health complications.

    On the other hand, low cortisol levels may indicate Addison's disease or secondary adrenal insufficiency, characterised by reduced cortisol production due to external factors affecting the adrenal glands. Potential causes include autoimmune diseases, infections, or abruptly stopping steroid medications.

    Cortisol levels generally peak between 8 and 9 a.m. and decline to their lowest around midnight. Higher concentrations of cortisol can often be seen in patients undergoing high-dose oestrogen therapy or during pregnancy.

    It’s essential to note that a variety of factors—including stress, pregnancy, physical activity, illness, temperature changes, thyroid conditions, obesity, and specific medications—can also impact cortisol levels. Furthermore, a Cortisol test alone cannot provide a definitive cause for abnormal cortisol levels; therefore, additional tests may be necessary as directed by your doctor. For the most accurate interpretation of your results, consulting your doctor is highly recommended.
