Order Cortisol AM & PM Test | Cortisol LevelsCortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands and released in a daily rhythm, typically peaking shortly after waking and declining through the day. Because that pattern carries clinical meaning, a single measurement can be misleading. The Cortisol AM & PM Test collects two blood samples at set times to show how cortisol rises and falls across the day.
About Cortisol AM & PM Test | Cortisol Levels in Florida
A two-point cortisol measurement gives a more complete picture than one draw alone.
Cortisol influences glucose metabolism, blood pressure, immune activity, and the body's response to stress. Its release follows a circadian pattern, so the expected value in the morning differs substantially from the expected value in the afternoon.
Drawing blood at two defined points lets a clinician compare the morning and afternoon results against one another. That comparison can help identify a flattened, blunted, or otherwise abnormal daily curve, which a single specimen might not reveal.
Results are reported for each collection time and are interpreted alongside symptoms, medications, and other laboratory findings. Timing of the draws matters, which is why the collection schedule should be followed as directed.
