cortisol test

[Mattydonald]

hi,

I have had a thyroid test done by blue horizon, the morning cortisol has come back at 310. I have read that they investigate anything lower than 450, is this the case? What should I do?

It was finger prick, I have not done a 4 point Saliva test

thanks matty

Not sure you are on the right forum. We are a forum for patients with PMR or GCA which is treated with corticosteroids and that affects our cortisol levels. That is why we seek cortisol testing, to see if it is recovering as the steroid dose falls. Our levels are usually low - because of the steroids. So not the same thing as interests you.
