Cortisol – Morning Sample (IA0055)

Description

Cortisol – Morning Sample is a blood test used to measure the level of cortisol, a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, collected in the early morning when cortisol levels are naturally at their peak. This test is essential for evaluating adrenal gland function and is commonly used in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease), Cushing’s syndrome, and disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Morning cortisol levels help assess hormonal balance, stress response, and endocrine health.
