Test Details
Cortisone (Compound E) 24-hour urine test is a diagnostic test that measures the level of cortisone in a person’s urine over a 24-hour period. Cortisone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, and it plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune response, and stress response.
This test is usually ordered by healthcare providers to assess the production and excretion of cortisone in the body. It can help diagnose and monitor conditions such as adrenal gland disorders, Cushing’s syndrome, and Addison’s disease.
To perform the test, the individual is instructed to collect all urine produced over a 24-hour period in a special container provided by the laboratory. The first urine sample of the day is usually discarded, and the collection starts immediately afterward. The container should be kept refrigerated during the collection period to prevent degradation of the sample.
After the collection period, the urine sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory measures the concentration of cortisone in the urine and provides a report to the healthcare provider. The results are usually reported as micrograms (mcg) of cortisone per 24 hours.
Abnormal results may indicate an overproduction or underproduction of cortisone, which can help guide further diagnostic investigations and treatment plans. It is important to follow any specific instructions given by the healthcare provider or the laboratory for accurate results.
Additionally, certain medications and dietary factors may interfere with the test, so it is essential to inform the healthcare provider about any medications or supplements being taken.
