Advanced Adrenal Stress Test

What this laboratory test evaluates

Precision Point Diagnostics' Adrenal Stress Test measures 4-point cortisol and secretory IgA (sIgA) in a convenient saliva specimen. Cortisol has been found unbound in saliva samples, indicating a strong correlation to cortisol concentrations in serum. Checking patients for low or high cortisol over the course of the day is essential to address fatigue, insomnia, thyroid disorders, or weight gain.

Collection and processing

• Sample type: Saliva
• Fasting: No
• Estimated laboratory processing: Results should arrive 14 business days after the lab receives samples.

How Sunridge uses laboratory information

Sunridge considers the medical question, symptoms, history, medications, prior results, and whether the finding could change care before recommending testing. A laboratory result is not interpreted in isolation and does not establish a diagnosis by itself.
