Stress Test

Nerves are not a case for Dermatology

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and is crucial for several functions in the human body. It has three primary actions: it stimulates the breakdown of proteins and fats and promotes the metabolism of glucose in the liver.

Cortisol regulates metabolism, helps control the stress response and influences the sleep-wake cycle and exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.

Also known as the " stress hormone", it is released in response to stressful situations. During these types of situations, it increases blood pressure and blood sugar, providing muscle energy for the physical response to problems, and is essential for maintaining homeostasis and the body's adaptation to changes and challenges.

This test checks your blood cortisol levels, which can help you identify why you are feeling tired, having trouble sleeping or experiencing mood swings.
