About this test
What is Cortisol?
Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to physical, emotional, and psychological stress. It plays a key role in regulating metabolism, blood pressure, immune response, and the body’s stress response.
Importance of Cortisol Testing
Measuring cortisol levels can help diagnose disorders related to the adrenal or pituitary glands, such as Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease. It is also useful for assessing how the body manages stress and fatigue.
