URINARY CORTISOL (24 Hours urine)

The Urinary Cortisol (24 Hours Urine) test measures the amount of cortisol, a hormone made by the adrenal glands, that is released into the urine over a full day. Cortisol helps control stress, blood sugar, metabolism and immune response. This test is commonly used to check for conditions like Cushing’s syndrome (when the body makes too much cortisol) or Addison’s disease (when the body makes too little cortisol), helping doctors understand if the adrenal glands are working properly.
