Cushing’s Syndrome refers to the systemic effects of chronic glucocorticoid excess, regardless of its cause. In this series, you’ll learn how to distinguish between ACTH-dependent and ACTH-independent causes, interpret hormonal test results, and manage patients presenting with classic signs like central obesity, moon facies, buffalo hump, purple striae, proximal muscle weakness, and new-onset hypertension or diabetes. You'll be guided through the diagnostic algorithm step-by-step — including how to use the low-dose dexamethasone suppression test, 24-hour urinary free cortisol, and late-night salivary cortisol as initial tests. Once hypercortisolism is confirmed, you'll learn how to interpret plasma ACTH levels and follow up with high-dose dexamethasone testing or CRH stimulation tests to differentiate between Cushing disease (pituitary adenoma), ectopic ACTH production, and adrenal tumors. Key clinical scenarios featured include: – A woman with resistant hypertension and easy bruising → Think Cushing’s – A patient with a small cell lung cancer and metabolic alkalosis → Suspect ectopic ACTH – An adrenal incidentaloma on imaging → Evaluate for autonomous cortisol secretion This playlist also covers iatrogenic (exogenous) Cushing’s Syndrome, the most common cause overall, and explains the risks of abrupt steroid withdrawal. You’ll gain full clarity on when to use surgical vs medical management, and how to monitor post-op adrenal insufficiency. By the end of this series, you’ll be ready to confidently approach any Step 2 CK case or real-world patient involving hypercortisolism, adrenal masses, or pituitary pathology with evidence-based, exam-focused knowledge. #CushingsSyndrome #CushingDisease #Hypercortisolism #ACTH #PituitaryAdenoma #AdrenalAdenoma #EctopicACTH #USMLEStep2CK #EndocrinologyReview #InternalMedicineCore #DexamethasoneSuppressionTest #SteroidUse #MoonFace #BuffaloHump #Step2Prep #WhiteboardMedicine #DrGBhanuPrakash #USMLEBuzzwords #NBMEReview #MedicalEducationUSA #USMLE2025 #AdrenalMass #CRHStimulationTest #PituitaryMRI #ConceptualMedicine #MedicalConcepts #NEETPGPrep #FMGE2025 #USMLE2025 #ClinicalMedicine #MBBSConcepts #NextExamPrep #MedSchoolMadeEasy #MedStudentLife #HighYieldMedicine #PathophysiologySimplified #LearnMedicineFast #VisualMedicine #MedicalMnemonics #CrackNEETPG #USMLEStep1Prep #MedEducationRevolution #MBBSShorts #DoctorInTheMaking
