1. CORTISOL
The Cortisol Test measures cortisol levels in the blood to assess adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions related to hormone imbalances and stress.
No fasting is required, but follow specific timing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Inform them about any medications you are taking.
Cortisol levels typically vary throughout the day. Morning levels are usually highest, so the test is often scheduled in the morning.
Abnormal cortisol levels can indicate conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, or other adrenal disorders. Further evaluation may be needed.
Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected, allowing for prompt review and diagnosis.
2. Accident and Emergency
The Accident and Emergency (A&E) department provides urgent care for acute injuries, sudden illnesses, and life-threatening conditions.
If you need emergency care, visit the A&E department or call emergency services immediately. Provide any relevant medical history and symptoms upon arrival.
Yes, you can bring a family member or friend for support. However, depending on the situation, visitor access may be restricted.
Bring identification, any current medications, and relevant medical history. This information helps the medical team provide appropriate care.
If your condition is not deemed an emergency, you may be referred to a primary care provider or scheduled for a non-urgent appointment.
3. SPIROMETRY
Spirometry is a lung function test that measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, and how quickly you can do it.
Wear loose clothing, avoid heavy meals or intense exercise before the test, and follow any specific instructions from your doctor.
No, spirometry is non-invasive and painless. You will be asked to breathe into a device, which may feel slightly uncomfortable but is not painful.
The test itself takes about 15-30 minutes. Results are usually available immediately or within a few hours.
The frequency depends on your health conditions and doctor’s recommendations. It may be performed regularly for ongoing monitoring or as needed for diagnosis.
