    What is Cortisol - AM Test?

    The Cortisol-AM test measures cortisol levels in the blood in the morning to determine whether they are within the normal range. Cortisol is a vital hormone involved in several critical bodily processes, and it generally reaches its highest concentration in the morning. The adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, produce cortisol in response to hormone signals from the pituitary gland in the brain.

    Cortisol plays a key role in managing the body’s stress response, often earning it the nickname "stress hormone." It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, decrease inflammation, maintain blood pressure, and support metabolic functions. When cortisol levels are too high or too low, it may signal issues with the adrenal or pituitary glands, or in some cases, even the presence of a cortisol-producing tumour.

    Untreated cortisol imbalances can lead to significant health issues, making the Cortisol-AM test at home, a convenient tool for detecting and managing potential problems related to adrenal and pituitary gland function.

    Cortisol - AM Test Parameters

    The Cortisol-AM test measures just one parameter—morning cortisol levels.

    Cortisol naturally peaks in the morning due to the body's circadian rhythm, which gears the body up for daily activities. This morning surge sharpens alertness, boosts energy, regulates blood sugar, and helps manage stress. Typically, cortisol levels fluctuate throughout the day, with a high in the morning and a decline by evening. However, this cycle may be disrupted for those who work late hours or have inconsistent shift patterns.

    Cortisol - AM Test Preparation

    Before taking the Cortisol-AM test in Noida, consider these important factors:

    ● Prerequisites There’s no need to fast before taking the Cortisol-AM test.

    ● Best Time to Get Tested The optimal time for this test is in the morning when cortisol levels are at their highest.

    ● Who Should Get a Cortisol-AM Test? You might need this test if you are experiencing symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease, both linked to irregular cortisol levels.

    ● Cautions Before Taking a Cortisol-AM Test No special precautions are required before the test, but your doctor will provide any additional instructions if needed.

    Why Take the Cortisol - AM Test?

    Doctors might suggest a Cortisol-AM test for the following reasons:

    ● Check Hormonal Balance: The test measures cortisol to see if it’s within the normal range, giving insights into your hormonal health.

    ● Diagnose Adrenal Issues: It can help detect conditions like Cushing’s syndrome (marked by high cortisol levels) or Addison’s disease (characterized by low cortisol), both of which affect health. Symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome include:

    • Excessive hair growth or balding

    • Mood changes

    • Growth delay in children

    Symptoms of Addison’s disease may include:

    • Persistent fatigue

    • Muscle weakness, particularly during physical activities like climbing stairs

    • Loss of appetite with salt cravings

    • Weight loss

    • Stomach discomfort

    • Dehydration

    • Irritability

    • Low blood sugar levels

    • Low blood pressure

    • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea
