About this treatment
This test quantifies cortisol levels from a standard venous blood draw, providing insight into how the adrenal glands are responding to stress and circadian rhythms. Because cortisol can fluctuate throughout the day, the result may help clinicians assess whether abnormal levels are contributing to fatigue, sleep disturbances, or suspected adrenal insufficiency. The test is best suited for adults experiencing chronic stress, unexplained tiredness, or those undergoing evaluation for endocrine disorders. The service fee covers the phlebotomy charge, laboratory measurement of the cortisol hormone, and a concise report with a short tele‑consultation to explain the findings. Results are usually returned within a few business days, enabling prompt discussion of next steps.
