x
Sterling Accuris offers a Cortisol (random) Test in Halol to measure the levels of cortisol in the blood that may help diagnose diseases of the pituitary and adrenal glands and conditions like Addison disease and Cushing syndrome.
Overview of the Cortisol (random) Test
There are two adrenal glands that lie above the kidneys which secrete the cortisol hormone. Instructions for making the cortisol hormone are sent from the pituitary gland situated in the brain. Cortisol affects almost every organ and plays crucial roles in stress response, regulation of glucose levels in the blood, metabolism, and fighting infections. Cortisol levels peak after sunrise and become lowest at night. If your random cortisol levels remain high or low throughout the day then you might be suffering from some conditions that need to be treated.
The Cortisol random test can provide important clues about adrenal and pituitary health, which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Sterling Accuris offers the Cortisol (random) test in Halol with timely and accurate reports.
