Cortisol Urine Test in Richmond, Virginia

Same day and Affordable Cortisol Urine Test, Locations Nationwide

Can the "stress hormone" Cortisol be affecting your health? Request A Test offers a convenient and affordable Cortisol Urine Test in Richmond, VA. Cortisol is a hormone produced and released by adrenal glands. Proper Cortisol levels are important for helping the body to maintain a number of functions such as blood pressure, glucose levels, immune response, and stress management. Typically, the highest quantity of cortisol is released in the morning with a tapering of levels throughout the day. In times of stress, the adrenal glands produce more cortisol and adrenaline. Should stress occur frequently or over a long period of time, the adrenal and pituitary glands become depleted leading to adrenal fatigue or pituitary dysfunction. Lower cortisol levels are attributed to Addison disease and Hypopituitarism. While higher levels are attributed to Cushing disease and Ectopic Cushing syndrome.

Request A Test offers several Cortisol tests - Blood, Saliva and Urine. Aside form these general cortisol tests, we also offer blood and saliva tests that are time specific due to the rising and lowering of cortisol levels throughout the day. The time specific blood tests we offer are: AM, PM and AM&PM. The saliva tests are named after the number of specimens present in the collection: the 2 Specimens, 3 Specimens and 4 Specimens. Cortisol testing is often ordered with an ACTH Test to help evaluate adrenal and pituitary functions.
