Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR)
This salivary test measures cortisol levels at multiple points upon waking, providing a detailed understanding of their stress system's activity and potential dysregulation.
- Cortisol Profiles
- DHHEAS Profiles & Ratios
- CAR Responses
Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a cutting-edge technology that offers unparalleled sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in measuring a wide array of hormones and metabolites in urine samples. This advanced analytical technique allows for precise quantification of hormones at trace levels.
Unlike traditional methods, LC-MS/MS employs multiple stages of mass spectrometry, significantly reducing interference from other substances and ensuring more accurate results. The high-resolution capabilities of LC-MS/MS allow for the detection of complex hormone profiles, enabling a comprehensive view of a patient's endocrine health.
This test utilizes 6 - saliva tube specimens to provide a comprehensive look at cortisol level throughout the day.
