    Extractions: Cushing's syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure of the body's tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol. Sometimes called "hypercortisolism," it is relatively rare and most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50. An estimated 10 to 15 of every million people are affected each year. Symptoms vary, but most people have upper body obesity, rounded face, increased fat around the neck, and thinning arms and legs. Children tend to be obese with slowed growth rates. Other symptoms appear in the skin, which becomes fragile and thin. It bruises easily and heals poorly. Purplish pink stretch marks may appear on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms and breasts. The bones are weakened, and routine activities such as bending, lifting or rising from a chair may lead to backaches, rib and spinal column fractures.

    Extractions: Cushing's Syndrome Cushing's syndrome is a debilitating endocrine disorder characterized by excessive cortisol levels in the blood which may be the result of a tumor of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands (located above the kidneys) or from tumors or cancer arising elsewhere in the body (ectopic ACTH producing tumors). Cushing's disease refers specifically to excessive ACTH secretion by a pituitary tumor (also called pituitary adenoma). The cause of Cushing's Syndrome is a pituitary adenoma in over 70% of adults and in approximately 60-70% of children and adolescents. Most pituitary ACTH-secreting adenomas are small in size (microadenomas). Overall, Cushing's Disease is relatively rare, affecting 10 to 15 of every million people each year, and most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50 years. Women account for over 70% of cases. Symptoms and signs of Cushing's syndrome and disease may include: Change in body habitus: weight gain in face (moon face), above the collar bone (supraclavicular) and on back of neck (buffalo hump) Skin changes with easy bruising, purplish stretch marks (stria) and red cheeks (plethora)

    Extractions: First described by the physician, Harvey Cushing , in 1912, Cushing’s syndrome (sometimes called hypercortisolism) refers to a disorder in which the body suffers from prolonged exposure to high levels of the stress hormone cortisol . Because of the gradual nature of the disease, the time between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis of Cushing’s is often long and frustrating. In order to understand how Cushing’s syndrome arises, it is necessary to briefly examine the cortisol pathway. First, the hypothalamus secretes corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH). CRH stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete ACTH , which causes the adrenal glands to release cortisol into the bloodstream. A biologic feedback loop exists in which the

Hypothalamus Hormone Production Cushing's syndrome is named after the surgeon Harvey Cushing. It is a group of clinical signs and symptoms caused by a chronic excess of glucocorticoids, which are hormones produced by the adrenal glands. Glucocorticoids affect many body functions and are essential for survival, but when the level of these hormones is too high, it can cause serious problems. The most important glucocorticoid is the "stress hormone" cortisol. The pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain, regulates cortisol production by secreting a hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

    Extractions: The hormone Cortisol is essential in helping the body to prepare and respond effectively to physical and emotional stress. Too much Cortisol, however, can have quite the opposite effect as people who suffer with Cushing's syndrome, named after the Boston neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing, know all too well. Caps on the kidneys The adrenal glands are very important manufacturers of different hormones. These help to control blood pressure and salt and water balance, and help our immune system fight off infection and deal with stress and illness. There are two adrenal glands, and each one sits like a cap on top of the kidney. The inner part of the gland secretes adrenalin and noradrenaline. The outer part of the adrenal gland is made up of three zones that secrete a group of hormones collectively called corticosteroids or the adrenal hormones . These are: Aldosterone - this regulates salt and water loss through the kidneys and so helps control blood pressure.

    Extractions: Rheumatoid ... Treatment Cushing's syndrome, also known as hypercortisolism, occurs when a person's tissues are exposed to an excess of the hormone cortisol. When the appropriate amount of cortisol is released by the adrenal glands, it helps regulate blood pressure, energy production, the ability to fight disease, and how the body maintains itself and responds to stress. But too much cortisol can alter the normal function of these processes, resulting in the symptoms of Cushing's syndrome The adrenals are two glands, each perched on the upper part of the two kidneys. The outer part of the gland is known as the cortex; the inner part is known as the medulla. Each of these parts of the adrenal gland is responsible for producing different types of hormones. Regulation of hormone production and release from the adrenal cortex involves the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland releases a hormone called Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) which travels through the bloodstream to the adrenal cortex, where it encourages the production and release of cortisol and other steroid hormones.

    Extractions: Standards for Screening for Cushing's Syndrome INTRODUCTION A survey of urine free cortisol measurements in use in Wales, presented at an audit meeting in May 1995, showed wide variations in practice and the need to review methods used for screening for Cushing's syndrome. A further survey on this latter topic was presented at another audit meeting in May 1996. The following standards are recommended in the light of the presentations and discussions at these meetings and consultation with the Welsh Endocrine and Diabetes Society. STANDARDS Patient Assessment The diagnosis or exclusion of Cushing's syndrome can be difficult and it is recommended that non-expert clinicians should seek the advice of a consultant physician or paediatrician with specialist endocrinology experience. Laboratory tests should not be used in isolation; results should be interpreted together with a full clinical assessment of the patient. Choice of Test First-line screening tests must have high sensitivity to minimise the incidence of false negative results and reference (cut-off) values chosen to achieve these aims. The overnight dexamethasone suppression test is particularly recommended, but 24 hour urine free cortisol determination is also suitable. Measurement of 9 am serum cortisol alone is not adequate. In many cases it is desirable to perform more than 1 test. If cyclical Cushing's syndrome is suspected, repeat testing may be required on several occasions.

It can also be produced synthetically. In women, there may be increased growth of facial and body hair, and menstrual periods may become irregular or stop completely. Exposure to too much cortisol can occur for different reasons such as long-term use of glucocorticoid hormones to treat inflammatory illnesses; pituitary adenomas (benign tumors of the pituitary glands) which secrete increased amounts of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH); ectopic ACTH syndrome (a condition in which ACTH is produced by various types of potentially malignant tumors that occur in different parts of the body); and adrenal tumors (tumors of the adrenal glands).
