About Cortisol ,Free Urine 24H
Cortisol ,Free Urine 24H is a laboratory investigation available across the MedVocs diagnostics network, processed in NABL-accredited partner labs with strict quality control.
As a hormone-related investigation, results help evaluate glandular function and guide diagnosis and dose adjustments — always interpret results with your treating doctor.
How to prepare (pre-procedure)
- No fasting is generally required unless your doctor has combined this with fasting-dependent tests.
- Continue regular medication unless your doctor advises otherwise, and inform the lab of all medicines and supplements you take.
- Some hormones vary by time of day and menstrual cycle — follow the collection timing advised (e.g., early morning, or a specific cycle day).
- Carry your doctor's prescription and any previous reports for comparison.
