About Cortisol Serum (Morning Sample 6 AM -10AM)
This test measures cortisol levels in your blood—the most common starting point, standard for checking adrenal function. Cortisol is a hormone that helps the body manage stress, metabolism, energy, and immunity. The sample is usually collected in the morning when cortisol levels are highest. High or low cortisol levels may indicate problems like Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome, or other adrenal and pituitary gland disorders. This test helps doctors diagnose and monitor hormone-related conditions. The Cortisol Serum (Morning Sample 6 AM - 10 AM) is the standard first step. Cortisol levels peak in the morning, so this gives the clearest "active" reading. You may be advised to fast or avoid certain medicines before the test. Health Checkup Center in association with Thyrocare offers convenient home sample collection with accurate testing and reliable reports for better health evaluation.
