I requested a 24-hr. urine test from an endo, which showed high cortisol. The

next test she did was a dexamethasone suppression test ( you take this form of

cortisol, then do another 24-hr urine test. It showed that my adrenals

suppressed appropriately - meaning, I suppose , that I didn't have Cushings. I

went through all this before I found out about saliva testing on this forum.

Hope I haven't confused you.

Catecholamines and Free Cortisol?

My Dr is doing a 24 hr urine catecholamine and free cortisol test.

I've tried to do some reading on it, but can't make heads or tails.

Can anyone explain what the Dr is trying to find out and what

relationship it has to thyroid and/or adrenals????

(also - you may see this on the sister site. I thought I was here - oops!)
