Cortisol ,Free Urine 24H

Description

This test measures the amount of free (unbound) cortisol excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. It’s considered one of the most reliable tests for diagnosing Cushing’s syndrome, a condition characterized by excessive cortisol production. The 24-hour collection provides a comprehensive view of cortisol production and excretion, accounting for the hormone’s natural fluctuations throughout the day. This test is particularly useful in evaluating adrenal gland function and can help differentiate between various causes of cortisol excess or deficiency.
