Ideal for exclusion of Cushings disease in particular
1 biomarker as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals, of 4 in total.
Testing Salivary Cortisol on 4 occasions throughout the day gives a better insight into the status of cortisol release, which tends to peak in the morning and diminish as the day progresses. Under production (Addison's disease) or especially over production (Cushing's disease) may be detected more readily this way than by single serum measurements of cortisol, with the night time level being most useful diagnostically.
