Order Cortisol AM & PM Test | Cortisol LevelsCortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands that influences metabolism, immune response, and the body's reaction to stress.

About Cortisol AM & PM Test | Cortisol Levels in Cloverleaf
The Cortisol AM & PM Test evaluates how cortisol levels change between morning and afternoon.
Cortisol typically peaks shortly after waking and declines gradually over the course of the day. This diurnal pattern is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, a feedback system linking the brain and the adrenal glands.
Collecting two samples, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, allows the laboratory to compare values against expected ranges for each time point. The relationship between the two results can be as informative as either number on its own.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days. Preparation instructions provided by the laboratory should be followed, since timing and other factors can influence cortisol concentrations.
