UT Southwestern: Patients with mild Cushing syndrome may benefit from adrenalectomy
Date:12/10/2007

age to physicians is to maintain a high level of suspicion for hypercortisolism in patients whose biochemical tests are not completely normal and repeat biochemical studies periodically.

Unless a patients test results are clearly negative, they should probably get more complete testing, said Dr. Nwariaku, senior author of the study.

The researchers next plan to organize a multicenter trial to define better subclinical Cushing syndrome and guide recommendations for diagnosis and therapy. They also plan to study the genetic mechanisms of why some people suffer the manifestations of mild hypercortisolism, which others dont.
