Find Answers to Unexplained Symptoms with Our Cortisol Suppression Test
Are you struggling with unexplained weight gain, mood swings, or high blood pressure that just won’t improve? Many South Africans face these frustrating symptoms without understanding the underlying cause. Our Cortisol Suppression by Dexamethasone Overnight Low Dose Test provides the clarity you need to understand your body’s hormonal balance and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your Cortisol Suppression Test
This specialised test helps diagnose Cushing’s syndrome by measuring how your body responds to a small dose of dexamethasone medication. When you take the tablet at 11 pm, it should normally suppress your cortisol production. If your cortisol levels remain high the next morning, it could indicate an underlying hormonal condition that needs medical attention.
Our advanced chemiluminescent immunoassay technology ensures precise, reliable results that your healthcare provider can trust for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained weight gain, especially around the abdomen and face
- Persistent high blood pressure despite treatment
- Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
- Muscle weakness or fatigue
- Irregular menstrual cycles in women
- Easy bruising or slow healing of wounds
- Purple stretch marks on your skin
If you’ve been searching for answers to these symptoms, this test could provide the breakthrough you need.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Early detection of cortisol imbalances can prevent long-term complications and help you regain control of your health. By identifying Cushing’s syndrome early, you can:
- Receive appropriate treatment to manage symptoms
- Reduce your risk of diabetes, osteoporosis, and heart disease
