Brochure for Primary Care Physicians Cushing’s syndrome (CS)

HEALTHCARE MATERIAL

This brochure outlines key clinical signs (e.g., purple striae, muscle weakness, central obesity) and provides primary screening protocols using 24-hour urinary cortisol, late-night salivary cortisol, and low-dose dexamethasone suppression tests, emphasizing that abnormal results warrant referral to an endocrinologist due to limited specificity of these tests.
