Cortisol level before Injection

The Cortisol Level Before Injection test measures the baseline level of cortisol in the blood before administering an ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) injection. This test helps assess the body's normal cortisol production before stimulating the adrenal glands. The baseline cortisol level is crucial for evaluating how well the adrenal glands are functioning. It provides a reference point for comparison with post-injection cortisol levels during the ACTH Stimulation Test. Abnormal baseline cortisol levels may indicate adrenal insufficiency, such as Addison’s disease (low cortisol), or conditions like Cushing's syndrome (high cortisol), depending on the context of the test.
