My cortisol level is 22 and the upper limit for my lab is 19 wjat could it be ?,
Sep 26, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Cortisol level in the serum varies during the day. The normal reference ranges for cortisol are as follows:
Morning - 7-28 μg/dL
Afternoon - 2-18 μg/dL
So the result you have provided needs to be interpreted according to the time of the day during which the blood sample was withdrawn, because it could very well be normal.
