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.
