- Venous blood draw
- Laboratory analysis of cortisol
- Clinician‑reviewed results report
Cortisol testing measures the stress hormone cortisol in a venous blood sample. It may support insight into adrenal function and stress response, useful for investigating fatigue, sleep issues, or metabolic concerns. This single‑marker test is suited for adults experiencing chronic stress symptoms.
About this treatment
The Cortisol assay determines the concentration of cortisol in a venous blood sample, reflecting adrenal gland activity and the body's response to stress. Elevated or suppressed cortisol levels can be associated with chronic stress, sleep disturbances, or metabolic imbalances, providing clinicians with data to explore potential endocrine contributors to fatigue or weight changes. This test includes one biomarker, requires a standard blood draw, and the results are presented in a detailed report with professional interpretation. No fasting is required. Included are the venous blood collection, laboratory analysis of cortisol, and a comprehensive results summary.
