WHAT DOES CUSHING'S DISEASE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cushing's disease

Cushing's disease is a cause of Cushing's syndrome characterised by increased secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone from the anterior pituitary. This is most often as a result of a pituitary adenoma or due to excess production of hypothalamus CRH that stimulates the synthesis of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Pituitary adenomas are responsible for 80% of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, when excluding Cushing's syndrome from exogenously administered corticosteroids. This should not be confused with ectopic Cushing syndrome or exogenous steroid use.

Definition of Cushing's disease in the English dictionary

The definition of Cushing's disease in the dictionary is a rare condition caused by excess corticosteroid hormones in the body, characterized chiefly by obesity of the trunk and face, high blood pressure, fatigue, and loss of calcium from the bones.
