The 24 HRS Urine Cortisol Test involves collecting all urine passed within a 24-hour period to measure the total amount of cortisol excreted.
The 24 Hrs Urine Cortisol Test is an essential diagnostic tool used to measure the level of cortisol in your urine over a 24-hour period. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, and it plays a crucial role in regulating stress, metabolism, and immune response. Abnormal cortisol levels can indicate various health conditions, including Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, and other adrenal or pituitary gland disorders.
1] Cushing’s Syndrome Diagnosis: Cushing's syndrome occurs when the body produces too much cortisol, leading to weight gain, high blood pressure, and other health problems. The 24 HRS Urine Cortisol Test helps diagnose this condition.
2] Adrenal Insufficiency: Low cortisol levels can indicate adrenal insufficiency, such as Addison’s disease, which can cause fatigue, weight loss, and low blood pressure.
3] Monitoring Cortisol Levels: The test is also used to monitor cortisol levels in patients undergoing treatment for adrenal or pituitary disorders.
The 24 HRS Urine Cortisol Test measures:
1] Total Cortisol Excretion: This parameter tracks the total amount of cortisol excreted over 24 hours.
2] Baseline Cortisol Levels: It provides a baseline reading of your body's cortisol production.
3] Abnormal Cortisol Variations: Identifies whether cortisol levels are excessively high or low, indicating potential health concerns.
