Description
Adrenal Stress Profile
A salivary adrenal function test measuring cortisol at four times in a day, along with DHEA-S (an adrenal androgen), to assess the impact of stress on adrenal hormone output.
Who is this test most suitable for?
- Individuals with high-stress lifestyle or occupation
- People experiencing burnout
- Athletes with overtraining syndrome
- Those with poor work-life balance
Clinical Use
This profile helps diagnose chronic stress effects by showing whether cortisol levels follow a normal diurnal decline or remain elevated/depressed. An imbalance can indicate adrenal fatigue or hyperactivity, contributing to fatigue, insomnia, or lowered immunity. DHEA-S is included as a counter-regulatory hormone, and a low DHEA/Cortisol ratio can signify prolonged stress response. This test guides stress management and adrenal support interventions.
