What is the purpose of this test?
The Adrenal Function Saliva Panel is a test that helps doctors understand how well your adrenal glands are working. The adrenal glands are small organs located on top of your kidneys. They produce important hormones like cortisol and DHEA, which help your body respond to stress, maintain energy levels, and manage other important functions. By testing your saliva at different times of the day, this panel measures the levels of these hormones to see if they are in the right range.
This test is important because if your adrenal glands are not working properly, you might feel very tired, stressed, or have trouble sleeping. It can also affect your immune system and overall health. The results from the saliva panel can help your doctor figure out if your adrenal glands are working too much or not enough, and they can use this information to recommend treatments or lifestyle changes to help you feel better.
