## Overview
The Cortisol Suppression Test evaluates the feedback regulation of cortisol secretion by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. It is primarily used to diagnose Cushing?s syndrome, a condition caused by excessive cortisol production, and to differentiate its causes.
 
 The most commonly used suppression test is the Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST), which uses a synthetic glucocorticoid to suppress ACTH and cortisol production.

## Preparation Required
Low Dose Method : Administer 1 mg of Dexamethasone orally between 11 pm - 12 am, and draw 2 mL of serum from 1 Red top ( Plain ) tube the next morning at 8 am. High Dose MOn Day 1, draw a baseline cortisol sample of 2 mL at 8 am, administer 8 mg Dexamethasone orally between 11 pm - 12am. On Day 2, collect the second sample at 8 am. Both containers should be labeled with the time and date of the draw.
