What can be mistaken for Cushing syndrome?

Cushing's syndrome may be mistaken for other conditions that have many of the same signs, such as polycystic ovary syndrome or metabolic syndrome. Your doctor will first want to rule out other conditions. Diagnosis is based on your medical history, a physical exam, and lab tests.

Which tests are helpful for differential diagnosis between Cushing disease and Cushing syndrome?

In conclusion, our study confirms that CRH test, DDAVP test and HDDST have high accuracy in the differential diagnosis of ACTH-dependent CS. In particular, the combination of CRH test and HDDST allows to achieve the best performance in terms of sensitivity and specificity.

Which of the following are part of the differential diagnosis of cyclic Cushing's syndrome?

Differential diagnosis of cyclic Cushing's syndrome should include: exogenous steroid use, mild autonomous hypercortisolemia (previously referred to as subclinical Cushing's syndrome), non-neoplastic hypercortisolemia, use of xenobiotics affecting hormonal tests, glucocorticoid resistance syndrome, and factitious ...

What is the difference between Cushing's syndrome and Addison's disease?

What's the difference between Addison's disease and Cushing's syndrome? Addison's disease happens when your body doesn't have enough cortisol (and aldosterone), whereas Cushing's syndrome happens when your body has too much cortisol (hypercortisolism).
