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' Adrenal Stress Test measures 4-point cortisol, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), and secretory IgA (sIgA) in a convenient saliva specimen. Cortisol has been found unbound in saliva samples, indicating a strong correlation to cortisol concentrations in serum. Checking patients for low or high cortisol over the course of the day is essential to address fatigue, insomnia, thyroid disorders, or weight gain.
Hey practitioners! 👋 Join Dr. Aristo Vojdani, PhD, MSc, CLS, for an insightful webinar, "Beyond Exposure: Understanding Immune Reactivity Patterns," on Thursday, August 7 at 12:00 PM EST / 9:00 AM PT.
In this session, you’ll explore how immune reactivity testing may provide additional insights into how the body responds to environmental compounds, food additives, and microbial byproducts. Dr. Vojdani will walk through key Cyrex panels that offer complementary perspectives to traditional exposure assessments, supporting clinicians in recognizing immune response patterns that may inform personalized wellness and functional care strategies.
