Adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate the immune system, metabolism, and other essential bodily functions. Robust adrenal function is necessary for maintaining energy levels, circadian rhythms, and a healthy stress response. Chronic stress can cause the adrenal glands to become fatigued and run down, which can cause symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and irritability. This can lead to chronic fatigue, inability to cope with the stressors in life, and even chronic pain. Adrenal fatigue can drag down hormone levels and damage your immune system. This test looks at four cortisol levels throughout the day in saliva. This help determines if the patient has the correct circadian rhythm, giving them the energy to wake refreshed and fall asleep at night.
In addition to 4 cortisol levels, DHEA is measured with sIgA.
Precision Point Diagnostics' Advanced Adrenal Stress Test measures four-point cortisol, DHEA, and secretory IgA to help assess and address adrenal dysfunction that may be causing fatigue, mood disorders, and thyroid dysfunction.
