Cortisol is measured in the morning and again in the afternoon by this blood test. This overview covers what the AM Test measures and how its results are reported.

Understanding AM Test Results

Cortisol is measured in the morning and again in the afternoon by this blood test. Understanding the AM Test report starts with matching each value to the range shown beside it. Results for the AM Test are written in plain terms with the test name and collection date included. Keeping a copy of the AM Test report makes it easier to compare results over time.

Preparing for the AM Test

Wearing a short-sleeved top gives the collection staff easy access for the AM Test. If you take medications, keep a list ready to discuss with the collection staff or your provider. Unless told otherwise, most people do not need to fast for the AM Test. Arriving a few minutes early helps the appointment for the AM Test run smoothly.

What the AM Test Can and Cannot Show

The AM Test cannot capture factors that are not part of the panel, such as symptoms or medical history. A normal-looking AM Test result does not rule out every possibility, just as an abnormal one is not a diagnosis. The AM Test is most useful when its results are interpreted together with your overall health picture. For questions the AM Test cannot answer, a provider may recommend other tests or an evaluation.
