Serum cortisol test results

Hello all,

Further to my saliva cortisol test (link to post below), I requested a serum cortisol test at my GPs (8.45am, yesterday):

Serum cortisol level 381 nmol/L

>350 nmol/L makes adrenal insufficiency unlikely

Is this in keeping with my less-than-optimal-and-occasionally-below-range saliva results? I was holding off supporting my adrenals until after the blood test.

Your comments and insights are, as ever, gratefully received 🙏

So this ties in with the saliva test... not terrible... could do better!

Have you started on your 'be nice to your adrenals routine' ?

Hi Eeyore,

I was thinking the same. Haven’t started yet, no, planning to start in earnest next week. Just wanted this test out of the way first. Thanks for responding.
