Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is produced when your adrenal glands are triggered out of threat. When you are frightened with a certain event, your brain releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). These hormones notify your adrenal gland to produce adrenaline and cortisol.
Whenever you are subjected to any sort of danger, cortisol is released in your body. Presence of this hormone in your body also indicates that you are under stress. It creates a fight-or-flight response in your brain. Rise in the levels of cortisol makes you highly energetic and makes you feel stronger.
The fight-or-flight response will subdue any functions that are not needed at that moment. This response can lead to the following health issues:
- Dryness of throat and mouth
- Diarrhea
- Increased heart rate
- Stomach upset
- Panic attacks
Excessive release of cortisol can subdue your reproductive system, growth process and the process of digestion. It also affects the responses of your immune system when it is produced.
Cortisol test has multiple aims and can be prescribed for the following:
- Measure the levels of cortisol in your body
- Evaluate working of pituitary and adrenal glands
- Diagnostic means for Cushing's syndrome and Addison's disease
- Suspicion of abnormal levels of cortisol
The examination technique for studying cortisol level includes two methodologies. Sampling blood or urine, or both, can provide a proper count of cortisol in your body. Based on the aim of your cortisol test, you will be asked to provide samples. Pathologist may ask patients to provide blood and urine samples both in order to learn the amount of bound cortisol and free cortisol in your system.
Information about sample collection and other medical paper work will be provided to you in advance by the respective medical staff. Ensure you take proper precautions before the test if asked.
