A Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT) detects the presence of the hormone hCG in a woman’s urine to confirm pregnancy.

You can take a UPT if you have missed your period or are experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.

The UPT is highly accurate when performed correctly and can detect pregnancy within a few days of a missed period.

The test involves collecting a urine sample and using a test strip or device to detect hCG levels.

If your UPT result is positive, contact your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and begin prenatal care.

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.
