Take Control of Your Adrenal Health with Comprehensive 17-OHCS Testing
Are you experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings that just don’t make sense? Your adrenal glands might be trying to tell you something important. At Oracle Genomics, we understand how frustrating it can be when your body isn’t functioning as it should, and we’re here to provide the clarity you need through our specialised 17-Hydroxy Corticosteroids (17-OHCS) 24-hour urine test.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The 17-OHCS test measures specific hormones produced by your adrenal glands, giving us valuable insights into your cortisol production and overall adrenal function. Think of it as a comprehensive health check for your body’s stress response system. Unlike single-point blood tests, this 24-hour urine collection provides a complete picture of your hormone levels throughout an entire day, capturing the natural fluctuations that occur as your body responds to daily stresses and activities.
Using advanced column chromatography technology, our expert endocrinologists analyse your sample with precision and accuracy, ensuring you receive reliable results you can trust for making informed health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Health Assessment?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained weight gain, especially around the abdomen and face
- Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Muscle weakness or difficulty recovering from exercise
- High blood pressure that’s difficult to control
- Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
- Irregular menstrual cycles or fertility concerns
- Skin changes like thinning, bruising easily, or stretch marks
- Blood sugar fluctuations or diagnosed insulin resistance
If you’ve been diagnosed with or suspect adrenal disorders like Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, or adrenal insufficiency, this test provides essential monitoring and diagnostic information.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Long-Term Health
Getting your adrenal function tested can be life-changing. Early detection of hormonal imbalances allows for:
- Timely intervention before conditions progress
- Personalised treatment plans based on your specific hormone levels
- Improved quality of life through better symptom management
- Peace of mind knowing your health status accurately
- Prevention of complications associated with untreated adrenal disorders
Many of our patients report feeling relieved and empowered once they understand what’s happening in their bodies, finally having answers to health concerns that have been troubling them for months or even years.

We know waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking, which is why we provide clear, comprehensive reports with expert interpretation. Your results will show:
- Your 17-OHCS levels compared to normal ranges
