Brochure for Primary Care Physicians to increase awareness of Cushing’s syndrome (CS) Russian

HEALTHCARE MATERIAL

English

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.

Эта брошюра описывает основные признаки синдрома Кушинга (такие как фиолетовые растяжки, мышечная слабость и отложение жира в области туловища), а также основные скрининговые тесты: кортизол в суточной моче, ночной кортизол в слюне и тест с низкой дозой дексаметазона. Если результаты ненормальные, важно обратиться к эндокринологу, так как эти тесты не являются полностью точными.
