Explanation:

Cushing’s syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your body makes too much of the hormone cortisol over a long period of time. Cortisol is sometimes called the “stress hormone” because it helps your body respond to stress. Cortisol also helps

maintain blood pressure

regulate blood glucose, also called blood sugar

reduce inflammation

turn the food you eat into energy

The adrenal glands, two small glands on top of your kidneys, make cortisol.

Signs and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome vary. People who have very high levels of cortisol for a long time are likely to have clear signs of the disorder, including

weight gain

thin arms and legs

a round face

increased fat around the base of the neck

a fatty hump between the shoulders

easy bruising

wide purple stretch marks, mainly on the abdomen, breasts, hips, and under the arms

weak muscles

The most common cause of Cushing’s syndrome is the long-term, high-dose use of the cortisol-like glucocorticoids. These medicines are used to treat other medical conditions, such as asthma NIH external link, rheumatoid arthritis NIH external link, and lupus NIH external link. Glucocorticoids are often injected into a joint to treat pain. Use of glucocorticoids also suppresses the immune system after an organ transplant to keep the body from rejecting the new organ.

Other people develop endogenous Cushing’s syndrome because their bodies make too much cortisol. Several types of tumors can cause the body to make excess cortisol
