What is a 12 hours fasting cortisol Test in Mumbai ?
What is 12 hours fasting cortisol?
This test measures the level of cortisol in your blood after a period without food or drink. Cortisol is a hormone made by the adrenal glands. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests worldwide and plays a key role in both preventive screening and the investigation of liver disease.
What does 12 hours fasting cortisol measure?
It helps control metabolism, blood pressure, immune response, and how the body handles stress. Measuring cortisol helps detect adrenal or pituitary gland problems. It is used to diagnose conditions like Cushing's syndrome (too much cortisol) or Addison's disease (too little cortisol). Doctors also use fasting cortisol to monitor treatment, check for abnormal daily patterns, and decide if further tests are needed.
What symptoms suggest 12 hours fasting cortisol may be needed?
A doctor may recommend 12 hours fasting cortisol when a patient reports fatigue or persistent low energy, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark amber or tea-coloured urine, pale or clay-coloured stools, upper right abdominal discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling, and unexplained weight loss. Sample collection for Mumbai is available at labs and at home across Vikhroli, Mulund, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
How is 12 hours fasting cortisol performed?
A quick venous blood sample is all that is needed. At your chosen slot in Vikhroli or Mulund, Mumbai, the phlebotomist collects the sample with sterile equipment; most people feel only a momentary prick and there is no downtime afterwards.
How accurate is 12 hours fasting cortisol?
Results are analytically reliable because GetVisit's Mumbai logistics network maintains proper cold-chain transport from your Vikhroli or Mulund collection point to the processing lab, preserving sample integrity. NABL independently audits quality control at regular intervals.
Are there any risks to 12 hours fasting cortisol?
A blood draw for 12 hours fasting cortisol is very safe. Occasionally there is minor bruising or light-headedness; sitting for a couple of minutes afterwards at the Vikhroli or Mulund, Mumbai collection point usually prevents this.
Did you know?
For a routine blood cortisol test you usually don’t need to fast, but samples are often taken early morning (about 8:00 AM).
12 hours fasting cortisol Test Preparation in Mumbai
Medication:
Tell the collection staff about any prescription medicines, supplements, or herbal products you're using, and keep taking them unless advised otherwise.
Fasting and diet:
Fast for 8 to 12 hours before the test. Water is allowed and encouraged, so drink 2 to 3 glasses before leaving home. Avoid tea, coffee, juice, food, alcohol, and supplements during the fasting window.
Timing and slots:
Morning appointments suit most tests, when the body's markers are most stable. GetVisit home collection in Mumbai starts at 6:00 AM, including Dadar and Worli.
What to bring:
Have your doctor's referral and photo ID ready; earlier reports for the same test are useful for tracking trends.

Why Take a 12 hours fasting cortisol Test in Mumbai ?
When does a doctor order 12 hours fasting cortisol?
12 hours fasting cortisol is commonly ordered as part of endocrine or adrenal function testing and sometimes during evaluation for Cushing’s or Addison’s syndromes. Doctors may request it when patients have unexplained fatigue, weight change, high blood pressure, mood changes, or muscle weakness.
Who should get 12 hours fasting cortisol done in Mumbai?
Mumbai has among India's highest documented rates of alcohol consumption, contributing to a significant alcoholic liver disease burden across all socioeconomic groups. NAFLD is rising rapidly among the city's large corporate workforce in Lower Parel, Bandra-Kurla Complex, Worli, Powai, and Andheri West , driven by sedentary work, irregular eating patterns from long commutes, and high-calorie dining. Hepatitis B prevalence in Maharashtra is estimated at around 3 to 4%. NAFLD affects an estimated 25 to 35% of India's urban adults , the majority unaware. Regular liver testing in Mumbai's residential areas including Vikhroli and Mulund enables lifestyle intervention before irreversible scarring occurs. Patients recovering from hepatitis, those in alcohol recovery, and anyone with persistently unexplained fatigue also benefit from regular liver monitoring.
What conditions can 12 hours fasting cortisol help diagnose?
Abnormal results can come from adrenal or pituitary disease, long-term steroid use, severe illness, or stress. A family history of endocrine disorders may make this test more important.
What do 12 hours fasting cortisol results mean?
ALT above 56 U/L or AST above 40 U/L signals hepatocyte stress. The pattern matters: ALT greater than AST typically suggests NAFLD or viral hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio above 2 points to alcoholic hepatitis. High ALP with normal transaminases suggests bile duct disease rather than liver cell damage. Low albumin alongside high bilirubin indicates serious loss of liver function.
How often should 12 hours fasting cortisol be repeated?
Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment. Patients with active liver disease: at intervals specified by their gastroenterologist.
What happens after 12 hours fasting cortisol results are ready?
Results are delivered to your phone and stored securely on GetVisit. Any value the laboratory flags as critical is escalated for urgent review, and for everything else your doctor or a verified specialist can guide the next step at your convenience.
