Our reliable clinic located in London offers different treatments and tests including cortisol blood tests that focus on personalised care.
We are a team of expert medical professionals to give you the best care throughout the treatment.
Your results help your clinician to better understand your health conditions that may be affecting how your body works.
How does cortisol testing work?
A cortisol test measures the level of cortisol in your body.
Cortisol is made by your adrenal glands, which is located just above your kidneys. Depending on what your doctor is checking, cortisol can be measured using a blood, saliva or urine sample. In private clinics, a blood test is often the first choice because it provides a clear picture of the amount of your cortisol at a specific time of the day.
Several benefits include:
Why do you need a cortisol test?
Your clinician may request for cortisol testing if you have been experiencing symptoms that do not have an obvious cause.
Some of the common reasons include:
Your clinician will look at your symptoms, medical history, medications and overall health before deciding whether cortisol is right for you.

Your clinician will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and medications to know if there will be other tests to do alongside cortisol testing.
You will be scheduled early in the morning. Inform your clinician about the medications you take.
A small amount of blood will be drawn from your upper arm and it will be sent to a laboratory to measure the results.
You can return to your normal activities immediately after the test. Results are available within a few working days and explained by your clinician.

Wonderful experience. My skin was breaking out from travel and whilst visiting London they helped me so much with cortisone injections for acne. Feel so much relief being in a foreign place getting such kind and confident treatment. Thank you!

Most private clinics return results within 1 to 5 working days. Some London clinics offer next day results for standard cortisol blood tests.
No need to fast for cortisol testing. But it depends whether it is being carried out alongside other tests that need fasting.
Many clinicians prefer to take blood samples between 8am to 9am to provide the most useful baseline result when assessing adrenal function.
