Free Cortisol Measurement

Maryland rates for HCPCS 82530

Measures the free portion of cortisol, the part of this adrenal hormone that circulates unattached to carrier proteins and is therefore the part the body can actually use. It is most often measured in urine collected over a full day, which smooths out the natural rise and fall of the hormone across the day and night. Doctors use it mainly when the adrenal glands are suspected of turning out too much cortisol.
