Interpretive Data

Per 24h calculations are provided to aid interpretation for collections with a duration of 24 hours and an average daily urine volume. For specimens with notable deviations in collection time or volume, ratios of analytes to a corresponding urine creatinine concentration may assist in result interpretation.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.

Compliance Category

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)

Note

Reference intervals for children are based on literature from Taylor R.L. et al., Validation of a High-Throughput Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for Urine Cortisol and Cortisone. Clinical Chemistry 2002; 48:1511-19.

*The ratio of the concentrations of cortisol to cortisone will not be evaluated if the cortisol concentration is less than 5 µg/L.
