Description
The Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) panel was introduced in 1989 to evaluate stress, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Additional tests have been added to evaluate glycemic control using multiple salivary insulin measurements, and to evaluate adrenal capacity to produce cortisol using 17-Hydroxyprogesterone.
Saliva Tests Include:
- Four cortisol tests (Free fraction)
- DHEA/DHEA-S (Free fraction)
- 17-Hydroxyprogesterone
- Two insulin tests (Fasting and non-fasting)
- Total salivary SIgA
- Gliadin antibodies (For grain intolerance)
