Description
This test measures the level of cortisol in the body one hour after a specific injection. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune response, and stress management. The test helps in assessing adrenal gland function and diagnosing conditions such as Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, and adrenal insufficiency. It involves administering a corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) injection, followed by blood sample collection after 1 hour to measure cortisol le....
