Cushing's syndrome
Cushing's syndrome is a collection of symptoms that develop as the result of very high levels of a hormone called cortisol in the body.
The pattern of symptoms in Cushing's syndrome can be highly unpredictable. The symptoms can vary from being very mild to very severe.
Iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome is more common than endogenous Cushing's syndrome. Iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome is usually related to corticosteroid use.
Diagnosing Cushing's syndrome can often be challenging, particularly when the symptoms are mild.
Treatment for Cushing's syndrome will depend on what is causing the high levels of cortisol to accumulate in your body.
