Deoxycorticosterone LabCorp

This test measures deoxycorticosterone, a hormone that can affect blood pressure and electrolyte balance, helping identify potential causes for your symptoms. Ordering this test from Defy Medical can provide valuable insights into conditions like hyperaldosteronism or Cushing's syndrome, which may be linked to your dizziness, fatigue, headache, low blood pressure, muscle weakness, and nausea. Understanding your hormone levels is key to finding the right treatment.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Dizziness: Abnormal deoxycorticosterone levels can affect blood pressure regulation, potentially contributing to dizziness.
• Fatigue: Hormonal imbalances, including issues with deoxycorticosterone, can disrupt energy levels and lead to fatigue.
• Headache: Fluctuations in blood pressure or electrolyte balance caused by abnormal deoxycorticosterone may trigger headaches.
• Low blood pressure: This test helps assess hormone levels that directly influence blood pressure, which could explain episodes of low blood pressure.
• Muscle weakness: Electrolyte imbalances, potentially linked to deoxycorticosterone levels, can affect muscle function and cause weakness.
• Nausea: Hormonal changes or associated electrolyte disturbances can sometimes manifest as nausea.
