Cortisol levels

Hi I’m not sure if anyone can help with this but I’m a little confused! Last Jan I did a 24 hour urine test for cortisol levels. The label fell off my first sample so I had to repeat. I’ve had a print out of lots of results from my doctor but when looking for cortisol levels I can’t find anything! This is what I have relating to the 24 hour tests:

Does anyone understand this?

TIA 😊

The 24 hr urine test you had was for metadrenaline which is a test for phaeochromocytoma which can cause high blood pressure. however it looks as though they were unable to process the cortisol one as it wasn't labelled which is why they want it repeated. Hope that helps a bit? If you did another 24 hr urine for cortisol then it is not in this report.

Thank you that’s what I thought! Cortisol was the reason for doing it 😫 I have just rang the doctors surgery and they have confirmed that it wasn’t done! I asked the doctor about the result too and they told me it was fine, I can’t believe it!
