The 28 pages that link to Cushing syndrome, each with the reason it gives.

• CorticosteroidRelated: It can result from extended corticosteroid treatment as well as internal hormone excess.

• Endocrine systemBroader topic: It demonstrates the systemic effects of excess adrenal hormone activity.

• CortisolCompared with: It illustrates the effects of chronically high cortisol exposure.

• Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axisCompared with: Excess cortisol can result from dysregulation at several points in the axis.

• Polycystic ovary syndromeCompared with: It can produce menstrual irregularity and androgen-related features, so it may enter the diagnostic evaluation.

• Adrenal insufficiencyCompared with: It contrasts with adrenal insufficiency through excess rather than inadequate cortisol activity.

• DexamethasoneRelated: Chronic dexamethasone exposure can produce features of glucocorticoid excess.

• Adrenal cortexRelated: Cortical tumors or excess ACTH can drive the cortisol excess that causes this syndrome.

• Glucocorticoid receptorRelated: Excess receptor activation, often from medication, can produce this characteristic clinical syndrome.

• PrednisoneRelated: Sustained prednisone exposure can produce drug-induced features of glucocorticoid excess.

• GlucocorticoidBroader topic: It describes the characteristic consequences of sustained glucocorticoid excess.

• Adrenocorticotropic hormoneRelated: ACTH measurements help identify whether excess cortisol production is ACTH-dependent.

• HydrocortisoneCompared with: Excessive or prolonged hydrocortisone can produce this pattern of illness.

• Adrenal glandRelated: Excess adrenal cortisol can produce this characteristic clinical syndrome.

• Primary aldosteronismCompared with: Cortisol excess can produce hypertension and sometimes low potassium, but arises from a different hormone disorder.

• Addison's diseaseCompared with: It presents the opposite cortisol imbalance, though treatment can sometimes lead to adrenal suppression.

• Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosisRelated: Endogenous cortisol excess can produce skeletal effects resembling those of prescribed glucocorticoids.

• HirsutismBroader topic: Some cases also raise adrenal androgen levels and cause hirsutism.

• Hypothalamic-pituitary axisRelated: Its causes distinguish pituitary-driven ACTH excess from adrenal or medication-related cortisol excess.

• AdrenalectomyRelated: Adrenal tumors that produce cortisol can make gland removal an option.

• Endocrine glandBroader topic: It can result from excessive hormone production by the adrenal cortex or its regulators.

• Glucocorticoid withdrawalCompared with: Excess glucocorticoid effects precede withdrawal; their gradual resolution is distinct from adrenal insufficiency after reduction.

• Harvey CushingBroader topic: Cushing’s 1932 account established the clinical syndrome bearing his name.

• BetamethasoneRelated: Long-term or excessive systemic betamethasone can produce features of glucocorticoid excess.

• PrednisoloneRelated: Extended prednisolone use can produce medication-induced features of this syndrome.

• Endocrine system diseasesBroader topic: It can result from pituitary, adrenal, or medication-related causes.

• HyperaldosteronismCompared with: It can cause hypertension and sometimes low potassium, but cortisol rather than aldosterone is excessive.

• Periorbital dark circlesCompared with: Its facial changes differ from isolated under-eye darkness and require a broader clinical assessment.
