    What is Cortisol - AM Test?

    The morning Cortisol-AM test assesses the amount of cortisol in the bloodstream to see if it falls within a typical range. Cortisol, which plays a crucial role in several bodily processes, is generally at its highest level in the morning. It is produced by the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, in response to hormonal signals from the pituitary gland in the brain.

    Known as the "stress hormone," cortisol helps the body manage stress. It also regulates blood sugar, decreases inflammation, supports blood pressure regulation, and aids in metabolism. Abnormal cortisol levels may signal a problem with either the adrenal or pituitary glands, or in some cases, suggest a cortisol-producing tumour.

    Imbalances in cortisol can lead to significant health issues if not treated. The Cortisol-AM test at home, is a convenient option for identifying and managing potential concerns related to the adrenal and pituitary glands.

    Cortisol - AM Test Parameters

    The Cortisol-AM test is designed to assess only one factor: the level of cortisol in the blood during the morning hours.

    Cortisol levels naturally rise in the morning as part of the body’s circadian rhythm, which prepares the body for the day ahead. This increase helps improve alertness, boost energy, regulate blood sugar, and control the stress response. In healthy individuals, cortisol levels change throughout the day, starting high in the morning and decreasing toward the evening. However, irregular work schedules or night shifts can disrupt this pattern.

    Cortisol - AM Test Preparation

    Before scheduling a Cortisol-AM test in Mumbai, keep these considerations in mind:

    ● Prerequisites There is no need to fast before the Cortisol-AM test.

    ● Best Time to Get Tested The test is typically carried out in the morning, as this is when cortisol levels are naturally highest.

    ● Who Should Get a Cortisol-AM Test? This test is often recommended for those experiencing symptoms related to Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease, which are caused by abnormal cortisol levels.

    ● Cautions Before Taking a Cortisol-AM Test No specific precautions are required. If any further instructions are necessary, your doctor will provide them.

    Why Take the Cortisol - AM Test?

    Doctors may recommend a Cortisol-AM test for various reasons:

    ● Check Hormonal Balance: This test helps determine if cortisol levels are within the normal range, offering valuable insights into hormonal equilibrium.

    ● Detect Adrenal Disorders: It aids in diagnosing conditions like Cushing’s syndrome, associated with elevated cortisol levels, and Addison’s disease, linked to lower cortisol levels. These disorders can significantly affect health. Symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome include:

    • Gaining weight

    • Excess fat around the neck or upper back

    • Large, purple stretch marks on the hips, stomach, or underarms

    • A rounded, red face

    • Delayed wound healing

    • Abnormal hair growth or hair loss

    • Mood changes

    • Slow growth in children

    • Diabetes

    Signs of Addison’s disease might include:

    • Persistent fatigue

    • Muscle weakness, especially when climbing stairs or brushing hair

    • Loss of appetite with a craving for salty foods

    • Weight loss

    • Stomach pain

    • Dehydration

    • Irritability

    • Low blood sugar

    • Low blood pressure

    • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea

    • Darkening of the skin, lips, gums, and palms
