24 HOURS URINARY CORTISOL

The 24-hour urine cortisol test plays a vital role in diagnosing cortisol levels and investigating symptoms such as increased urination, heightened thirst, pink or purple stretch marks, weight gain, fatigue, muscle weakness, and thinning skin prone to easy bruising. The procedure involves a meticulous two-day collection process. On the initial day, the process starts with the first morning urination into the toilet. Subsequently, all urine is directed into a designated container for the next 24 hours to maintain sample integrity. On the following day, the first morning urine is collected in the same container. To ensure sample stability, the container is securely sealed and stored in a cool environment, such as the refrigerator, throughout the collection period. This comprehensive test provides valuable insights into cortisol dynamics, aiding in understanding the body’s metabolic and energy regulation functions for Hypro Diagnostics.
