Adrenocortex Stress Profile (Cortisol Testing)

HPA axis dysfunction is seen as a root cause of a variety of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, depression, fatigue, and more. Through carefully timed salivary samples throughout the day, this Adrenocortex Stress Profile provides a comprehensive assessment of cortisol diurnal rhythm, DHEA, and optional cortisol awakening response. It is a complete yet non-invasive test patients can easily do in their own homes.

Adrenocortex Stress Profile is comprehensive – assessing cortisol diurnal rhythm, DHEA, and optional cortisol awakening response (CAR). Salivary testing is an easy, non-invasive, at-home collection.

HPA axis dysfunction is seen as a root cause for disease, making evaluation vital to a patient’s overall health. Genova’s ASP is comprehensive – assessing cortisol diurnal rhythm, DHEA, and optional cortisol awakening response (CAR). Salivary testing is an easy, non-invasive, at-home collection.

A Comprehensive Tool to Assess the HPA Axis — Stress Response and Resiliency 

The Adrenocortex Stress Profile (ASP) provides an assessment of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis using carefully timed salivary samples of the hormones cortisol and DHEA. Salivary testing is an easy, non-invasive option to measure unbound, biologically active parent hormone levels. 

The report offers an easy-to-interpret graphic which plots the results of the natural diurnal rhythm. Which patients might benefit from HPA axis testing? Daily hassles, chronic pain, blood sugar dysregulation, work stressors, and poor relationship quality can alter the HPA axis. Imbalances in adrenal hormones can have a wide range of negative consequences that can adversely impact a patient's overall quality of life. 

  • HPA axis dysfunction is associated with many conditions including but not limited to: Hypertension 
  • Cardiovascular disease 
  • Gastrointestinal and immune dysregulation 
  • Diabetes and metabolic syndrome 
  • Depression 
  • Chronic fatigue 
  • Insomnia 
  • Weight gain 
  • Persistent pain 
  • Neurodegenerative disease and cognitive decline
