CORTISOL, EVENING

Cortisol is a steroid hormone that comes from the adrenal glands in your body. It is vital for glucose metabolism and the body's response to stress. The gland produces too much cortisol, which causes Cushing syndrome, and too little cortisol, which causes Addison's disease. Cushing syndrome is usually caused by tumors or an enlarged adrenal gland. Cortisol synthesis is controlled by another hormone in the brain. Cortisol is secreted in two peaks during this influence: 8-10 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. This test measures the nighttime peak.

The Cortisol Evening test price in Delhi generally ranges between ₹500 and ₹1500, depending on whether it is done alone or as part of other blood tests. Test reports are usually available on the same day or within 24 hours. You can easily book a Cortisol Evening test near you at City X-Ray through online booking, phone call, WhatsApp, or a walk-in visit.

What is the Cortisol Evening Test?

The Cortisol Serum (Evening Sample) blood test detects the level of cortisol, a steroid hormone generated by the adrenal gland. Cortisol levels fluctuate throughout the day, peaking in the morning and declining in the evening. This test aids in the diagnosis of disorders related to adrenal gland function, such as Cushing's syndrome or Addison's disease.

The Cortisol Serum (Evening Sample) test is performed in the evening because cortisol has a diurnal cycle, increasing in the morning and declining in the evening. Testing in the evening confirms whether this pattern is maintained, which is critical for diagnosing cortisol-related illnesses. Cortisol levels that are abnormal may suggest adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease), cortisol excess (Cushing's syndrome), or other gland-related illnesses. This test can also assist in identifying and monitoring issues related to stress, sleep disorders, metabolism, and general hormone balance.

Why is the Cortisol Evening Test Recommended?

This test is recommended by the doctor for the following reasons:

• Diagnosing Cushing's Syndrome: The primary purpose of this test is to detect elevated cortisol levels that do not drop in the evening, which is a symptom of tumors or adrenal gland problems.
• Checking Diurnal Rhythm: Cortisol levels naturally fluctuate, climbing in the morning and dropping at night. An evening test determines whether this rhythm is working properly.
• Adrenal Function Assessment: This method aids in the identification of adrenal diseases as well as the evaluation of chronic stress.
• Monitoring Treatment: This test helps patients who have previously been diagnosed with adrenal problems track the success of their treatment.

Your doctor may also recommend a Cortisol Evening test if you are suffering from the following conditions:

• weight gain (especially around the face/neck)
• muscle weakness
• easy bruising
• high blood pressure
• fatigue.
