What is a late night salivary cortisol Test in Delhi ?
What is late night salivary cortisol?
This test measures the level of cortisol in a late-night sample. Cortisol is a hormone released by the adrenal glands. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does late night salivary cortisol measure?
It helps the body respond to stress and controls blood sugar, blood pressure, and sleep-wake rhythms. Measuring cortisol late at night checks whether the normal daily drop in cortisol is happening. Abnormally high late-night cortisol suggests Cushing’s syndrome or other causes of excess cortisol. Doctors use this test to screen for cortisol overproduction, to follow known endocrine conditions, and to decide on further tests or treatment.
What symptoms suggest late night salivary cortisol may be needed?
A doctor may recommend late night salivary cortisol when a patient reports irregular or absent menstrual periods, unexplained abdominal weight gain, excessive facial or body hair (hirsutism), acne unresponsive to treatment, mood changes, low libido, and difficulty conceiving. GetVisit makes testing convenient in Delhi, with lab slots and home collection in Shahdara, Malviya Nagar, and nearby areas.
How is late night salivary cortisol performed?
You provide a urine sample rather than blood. Follow the container instructions for a clean mid-stream catch, avoid contamination from soap or toilet water, and submit it within two hours of collection at a lab in Shahdara or via home pickup in Malviya Nagar, Delhi. GetVisit handles labelling and NABL lab dispatch.
How accurate is late night salivary cortisol?
Urine results are reliable when the sample is collected cleanly and transported quickly. GetVisit's Delhi network handles prompt, temperature-appropriate transport from Shahdara or Malviya Nagar to the NABL lab, and quality control is independently audited by NABL.
Are there any risks to late night salivary cortisol?
There is no medical risk. Providing a urine sample is completely non-invasive, with no needle and no discomfort. The only thing to get right is a clean collection: follow the container instructions to avoid contamination that could affect the result. Home collection in Shahdara or Malviya Nagar, Delhi is just as safe as visiting a lab.
Did you know?
Late-night salivary cortisol is a noninvasive test measuring cortisol in a saliva sample collected late at night (usually around 11 PM) to assess the normal overnight fall in cortisol.

Why Take a late night salivary cortisol Test in Delhi ?
When does a doctor order late night salivary cortisol?
late night salivary cortisol is commonly included when screening for Cushing’s syndrome or abnormal cortisol rhythms. It is ordered for patients with unexplained weight gain, high blood pressure, facial rounding, easy bruising, or new anxiety and sleep problems.
Who should get late night salivary cortisol done in Delhi?
PCOS is highly prevalent among Delhi's young professional women. High occupational stress in the corporate and government sectors, irregular sleep patterns, sedentary work in offices across Connaught Place, Saket, Vasant Kunj, and Dwarka, and a high-sugar, high-refined-carbohydrate North Indian dietary pattern all drive insulin elevation and hormonal disruption in this demographic. Hormone testing benefits women with irregular cycles, suspected PCOS, or fertility concerns, and men with low energy, low libido, or reduced muscle mass. In Delhi, high occupational stress and irregular sleep among professionals in Janakpuri, Karol Bagh, and similar areas are recognised contributors to hormonal imbalance.
What conditions can late night salivary cortisol help diagnose?
Abnormal results can come from stress, shift work, certain medicines, adrenal or pituitary disease, or tumors. A family history of endocrine disorders may make testing more urgent or frequent.
What do late night salivary cortisol results mean?
Higher or positive results: Cortisol can be high at 3 a.m. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.
How often should late night salivary cortisol be repeated?
Frequency depends on the clinical question. For a fertility or PCOS work-up, tests are often timed to specific cycle days and repeated over one or two cycles. For patients on hormone therapy, monitoring follows the specialist's schedule, typically every few months until stable.
What happens after late night salivary cortisol results are ready?
Your GetVisit digital report is delivered to your phone as soon as results are authorised. Share it directly with your doctor via the app, or book a consultation with a GetVisit-verified specialist on the same platform. Critical values outside a safe range are flagged by the laboratory for urgent clinical review.
