About this test

The Urinary Cortisol – 24 Hrs test measures cortisol levels over 24 hours to assess adrenal gland function.

The Urinary Cortisol – 24 Hrs test measures the total amount of cortisol excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and plays a vital role in stress response, metabolism, and immune function.

This test provides an accurate assessment of cortisol production throughout the day, helping diagnose conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome (excess cortisol) and Addison’s disease (low cortisol levels).

It is often used alongside blood cortisol and other hormonal tests to evaluate adrenal gland function and endocrine disorders.

Test Recommended For

  • Individuals with symptoms of hormonal imbalance
  • Patients with suspected adrenal disorders
  • People with unexplained weight gain or fatigue
  • Individuals with high blood pressure or abnormal glucose levels
  • Patients advised for cortisol testing
