Order Cortisol AM & PM Test | Cortisol LevelsCortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands and released in a daily rhythm, typically peaking shortly after waking and declining through the day.

About Cortisol AM & PM Test | Cortisol Levels in Pacifica
This test captures cortisol at two separate times rather than a single snapshot.
Cortisol influences blood sugar, blood pressure, immune activity, and the body's response to stress. Because its release follows a circadian pattern, a single measurement can be difficult to interpret on its own.
Collecting one sample in the morning and another in the afternoon allows the two values to be compared. That comparison can reveal whether cortisol rises and falls in the expected way or stays unusually high or low across the day.
Results are reported by the laboratory and are usually interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other findings by a qualified healthcare professional.
