Cortisol (Morning) Price in Bangladesh

What is Cortisol (Morning)?

The Cortisol (Morning) test measures the level of cortisol in the blood or saliva in the morning, typically between 6 AM and 8 AM when cortisol levels are naturally at their highest. This peak in cortisol is part of the body's circadian rhythm and helps regulate processes like metabolism, blood pressure, and immune function.

The test is commonly used to evaluate adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions such as Cushing's syndrome (high cortisol) or Addison's disease (low cortisol). Abnormal morning cortisol levels may indicate chronic stress, adrenal disorders, or pituitary problems.

It is often part of a broader assessment of hormonal balance.

What to expect & how to prepare

Cortisol (Morning) is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Cortisol (Morning) result rather than self-diagnosing.
