Cortisol is a hormone in the adrenal cortex that surges in response to the release of ACTH, another hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Cortisol levels are a good indicator of adrenal and pituitary function. Elevated cortisol levels can be a sign of several medical disorders.
1 A low level of cortisol in the blood can be caused by: 2  Problems that affect the adrenal glands directly, such as Addison's disease or a tuberculosis infection of the adrenal glands. 3  Problems with the pituitary gland that affect the adrenal glands, such as cancer or a head injury. A high blood cortisol level can be caused by severe liver or kidney disease, depression, hyperthyroidism, or obesity. 2  Pregnancy or birth control pills can also cause a high blood cortisol level. 3  Conditions such as recent surgery, illness, injury, or whole-body infection (sepsis) can cause high cortisol levels.
