CORTISOL (SALIVA)

The CORTISOL (SALIVA) test measures free (biologically active) cortisol levels in saliva to assess your body’s stress response and daily cortisol rhythm. It uses non‑invasive at‑home saliva collection at specific times of the day, with samples analysed by an accredited clinical laboratory to provide accurate, actionable results.

This test is useful for detecting abnormal cortisol patterns associated with chronic stress, Cushing’s syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, sleep‑wake disturbances, and for monitoring glucocorticoid therapy. Samples can be collected at home anywhere in the UAE with convenient pickup across Dubai; results are delivered as clinic‑grade reports you can share with your physician for diagnosis and treatment planning.
