Cortisol Serum Test In Ahmedabad

Cortisol Serum Test In Ahmedabad

Starts from 215*

Cortisol is a hormonal secretion by the adrenal gland. In short, it is a type of steroid hormone that plays various significant roles in:

  • Respond to stress
  • Maintain blood pressure
  • Regulate blood sugar
  • Regulate metabolism, the process of how your body uses food and energy
  • Fight infection

An adrenal gland is situated above the kidneys which produce and maintain the steady flow of cortisol, found in blood, urine and saliva. The cortisol test thus determines the levels of cortisol in our body. This is typically a blood test to measure adrenal disorders by measuring the levels of cortisol in the blood. To diagnose, a cortisol test in Ahmedabad is generally recommended by doctors.

About Cortisol Serum Test

Why Is the Cortisol Test Done?

There are two small glands situated above the kidney known as adrenaline which produces cortisol. The level of cortisol in our body should always be optimum.

  • Higher level of cortisol in our body or overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands leads to Cushing’s syndrome
  • The lower level of cortisol in our body or underproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands leads to Addison disease

Therefore, maintaining an optimum level of cortisol production is necessary for us. Otherwise, various health conditions may arise which cause unnecessary trouble.
Overproduction of cortisol, as we have mentioned, leads to Cushing’s syndrome. The common symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome are:

  • High blood pressure
  • High blood sugar
  • Skin that bruises easily
  • Obesity, especially in the torso
  • Muscle weakness
  • Purple streaks on the stomach
  • Women may have irregular menstrual periods and excess hair on the face

The underproduction of cortisol, as we have mentioned, leads to Addison disease. The common symptoms of Addison disease are:

  • Diarrhoea
  • Fatigue
  • Abdominal pain
  • Muscle weakness
  • Weight loss
  • Decreased body hair
  • Dark patches of skin
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Low blood pressure

Apart from these symptoms, you should also look for adrenal disorder symptoms, which could be fatal if not dealt with in an early stage. The common symptoms of adrenal disorder are:

  • Sudden and severe pain in the abdomen, lower back, and legs
  • Severe vomiting
  • Severe diarrhoea
  • Very low blood pressure
  • Dehydration
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Confusion

If you observe any of these symptoms recurring or being persistent, consult a specialist immediately and take the cortisol test without delay.

What Does Cortisol Test Measure?

As we have mentioned above, a cortisol test measures the levels of cortisol in our blood through a blood test. Indirectly, this test also confirms the functioning of the adrenal glands.

Cortisol test can be done through a blood test. However, it can also be executed through urine and saliva tests. Cortisol levels vary throughout the day and therefore, the test is done twice a day to calculate the mean of the measurements.

  • A cortisol blood test is a normal, non-fasting blood test
  • The cortisol saliva test is typically a swab test

o The saliva sample should be collected around 11                      p.m.
o Do not drink, eat or brush your teeth for 30                             minutes before the sample collection

  • Cortisol urine test is a regular 24-hour urine sample test

o After flushing the bladder in the morning,                                collect and store all the urinal output                                          throughout the day
o If not instructed otherwise, it is better to                                  record the time of the urinary excretions

Risk/ Side Effects Of Cortisol Test

Cortisol tests are entirely risk-free. Cortisol tests are performed to confirm the level of Cortisol in our body which participates in the maintenance of blood pressure and sugar, metabolism and immune system. The test also measures the adrenalin functions which is an indicator of various forthcoming health issues and underlying ailments.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
