What is an Adrenal Test?
Adrenal tests are given to measure the level of hormones created by the adrenal and pituitary glands. Cortisol levels in particular rise when a patient’s pituitary gland releases another hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone, otherwise known as ACTH. These hormones perform many functions, including keeping a person’s glucose (sugar) and fat regulated in order for it to be used for energy (metabolism), and also helping an individual’s physiology to manage stress. These hormone levels can be affected by numerous conditions, including physical and emotional stress, strenuous exercise or other activities, infections, or injuries.
Who May Need an Adrenal Test?
Adrenal tests are typically performed for patients who are exhibiting issues with their pituitary or adrenal glands, such as making too much or too little of the related hormones for instance. Patients who have had problems with bone growth, blood pressure, the function of their immune system, metabolizing of necessary nutrients, nervous system function, and stress response are likely to have this test prescribed by their physician. Also, patients known to have Cushing Syndrome or Addison Disease will likely receive Adrenal tests on a semi-regular basis.
What Should I Expect from My Adrenal Test?
Adrenal tests begin by drawing a sample of blood from a patient in order for it to be analyzed by a medical laboratory. Patients are commonly asked to avoid strenuous physical activity prior to taking the test, and may even be asked to lie down 30 minutes before their blood is taken. There are also a number of medications which could affect the results of the test, such as steroids, so it’s important to speak with your physician about what medications you are currently taking preceding your test. Though there is a reference range for results common among Adrenal tests, some labs may have different ranges for you and your physician. Speak to your doctor regarding your results to get more information on how your results concern to you and your health specifically.
