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. What is minimally invasive endocrine surgery?

Minimally invasive endocrine surgery involves using small incisions and advanced tools to treat disorders of the thyroid, parathyroid, or adrenal glands with reduced recovery time and scarring.

3. PFT

A PFT is a series of tests used to measure lung function, including air flow, lung volume, and gas exchange, to diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions.

Avoid smoking and heavy meals before the test, inform your healthcare provider about any medications, and wear comfortable clothing.

Key parameters include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Residual Volume (RV), and Diffusing Capacity (DLCO).

The Pulmonary Function Test at Chirayu SuperSpeciality Hospital is priced at ₹1500.
