is Cushing's syndrom fatal? Can it be cured?

Question

anything you can tell me about Cushing's will be greatly appreciated. Are there any other conditions that are like Cushing's and maybe a mistake was made?

Answer 1

I suggest MedLine Plus. It is a reputable website and breaks down the symptoms and treatment.

Answer 2

Cushings is due to an excess of the hormone cortisol. This can be due to taking meds, or an adrenal tumor, or a pituitary tumor, or even a problem in the hypothalamus in the brain. To answer your question in order to cure this disorder the cause must be found and dealt with. Yes if left untreated this disease can be fatal.
