Adrenal test Results

[021mk]

Is anyone familiar with cortisol and DHA levels? I was going over some old paperwork when I found these results from March, 2003.

Cicardian cortisol measurements:

Time Range Results Indications
Morning (27.7 - 5.52) 5.66 Normal
Noon [13.47-2.76] 3.33 Normal
Afternoon [10.71-2.48] < 0.82 Low
Night [5.8-0.83] 1.25 normal

DHEA-S [14.85-1.08] 16.58 high

As you can see, my cortisol was "normal" in 3 out of 4 measurements. But this "normal" is barely above the minimum requirements. I am wondering if that may explain some of the causes of my low testosterone. Also, my DHEA was high.
Any ideas on what all these mean? I am planning to retest, but am wondering if being borderline low is a problem.
Thanks in advance for any feedback

here is what they say your test should be at.


When interpreting a 24 hour saliva cortisol test, I look for top-of-the-range levels for the first two tests; the third test in the afternoon I feel should be middle-of-the-range and the midnight one mid-to-low range. These are the levels I shoot for when guiding people back to health. I have seen many results for this test and when people are on medication for it, they can even be over range on the first two and feel well. This is my own personal interpretation from looking at many of these and comparing it to when the symptoms of adrenal fatigue go away.

Your morning and noon levels should at very least be in the middle.
