2. 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.

Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected, allowing for prompt review and diagnosis.

The Ionised Calcium test measures the level of free, biologically active calcium in the blood, which is crucial for various bodily functions.
It provides a more accurate assessment of calcium levels compared to total calcium tests, helping diagnose and manage conditions affecting calcium balance.
No special preparation is usually needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements, and follow any specific instructions given.
Results are typically available within a few hours to 1 day after the blood sample is processed.
