Cortisol AM

Cortisol is a hormone made by your adrenal glands, two small glands that sit above the kidneys. It affects almost every organ and tissue in your body that help respond to stress, reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, or control blood pressure.

  • Hormones & Endocrinology

Patient Instructions:
. Arrange to get your sample collected before 10:00 am.
. Avoid strenuous physical activity on the day before the scheduled test.
. Because stress can raise your cortisol levels, it is recommended to rest before your test.
. Certain medications can influence cortisol levels. It is essential to inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking, including corticosteroids, birth control pills, and other hormone treatments. In samples from patients who are treated with prednisolone, 6-α-Methylprednisolone or prednisone, falsely elevated concentrations of cortisol may be determined. You may be advised to temporarily stop certain medications before the test. Do not stop any medication without consulting your doctor first.
