What should the Mira Cortisol Pattern™️ not be used for?Updated 3 hours ago
- Screening for, ruling in, or ruling out Cushing syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, or any HPA-axis disorder.
- Starting, stopping, or adjusting hydrocortisone, other glucocorticoids, adaptogens, or "adrenal support" protocols.
- Substituting for a serum, saliva, 24-hour urine, or DUTCH test the clinical picture calls for.
- Inferring a numeric cortisol value or a diurnal curve.
If a patient's presentation warrants cortisol testing, that testing should be ordered regardless of what the Mira pattern shows.
