Cortisol (Urine)

Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to stress and circadian cues. By measuring cortisol concentration in a collected urine sample, clinicians can assess overall cortisol production over a defined period, which may be associated with adrenal disorders, chronic stress, or sleep disturbances. The test evaluates one biomarker—cortisol—and typically returns results within 3‑5 business days. The fee is £90, plus a £50 charge for the phlebotomy visit (if a blood draw is required for other services). No fasting is needed, but patients should follow any collection instructions provided. The package includes urine collection kit, laboratory analysis, and a comprehensive results report, with optional follow‑up consultation.
