Understanding Cushings Syndrome

from The Good GP

In this episode of The Good GP Podcast, host Dr Tim Koh speaks with Dr Ranita Siru Sabatino about the complexities of diagnosing and managing Cushing syndrome. They discuss the variety of symptoms and signs of Cushing syndrome, such as muscle weakness and thin skin, and why it's crucial to understand these for early detection. They also talk about the challenges in diagnosing the condition due to its overlap with other common ailments like obesity, making it a slippery subject for medical professionals. Also listen to learn about the recommended diagnostic tests like late-night salivary cortisol and 24-hour urinary free cortisol, emphasising their importance in overcoming the limitations of standard cortisol measurements.
