GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Too much cortisol can cause some of the hallmark signs of Cushing syndrome-a fatty hump between your shoulders, a rounded face, and pink or purple stretch marks on your skin. Cushing syndrome can also result in high blood pressure, bone loss and, on occasion, type 2 diabetes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chronic stress and poor stress management can cause Cushing disease, as cortisol is the hormone we produce when we’re stressed. Similarly, panic disorders that cause your cortisol to rise regularly, can also cause Cushing disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -In patients with Cushing’s syndrome, the morning cortisol level will be high. It is evident that normal patients will suppress their cortisol to a very low level (1.8 mg/dl), whereas those suffering from Cushing’s syndrome will not.
