Overview
Differentiating Pseudo Cushing's Syndrome from other Diseases
- Differentiation from Cushing's is extremely difficult
- Causes of Cushing's should be excluded with imaging of the lungs, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland - but these often appear normal in Cushing's anyway
- In the alcoholic patient with pseudo-Cushing's, admission to hospital (and avoidance of alcohol) will result in normal midnight cortisol levels within 5 days, excluding Cushing's[1]
- Diseases with similar symptoms
The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate pseudo-Cushing's disease from other conditions that may cause hypertension, hyperandrogenism, and obesity. Facial plethora, skin changes, osteoporosis, nephrolithiasis and neuropsychiatric conditions.[2][3][4][5]
