A member asked:
Is it possible to get home tests which tell you if you have adrenal insufficiency or problems with the gland?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a simple issue: Adrenal pathology is not an issue for self diagnosis. The tests for adrenal function often require collection of 24 hour urine and complicated tests. If you have a concern, please discuss the issue with your doctor.
