"What populations are most likely to have subclinical Cushing's syndrome?
One might look for SCS in two main patient populations with the
expectation that making this diagnosis would lead to a beneficial
therapeutic intervention: 1) patients with an incidentally discovered
tumor that may inappropriately secrete cortisol (adrenal gland) or ACTH
(pituitary gland). Usually these lesions are called incidentalomas. 2)
patients that display non-specific pathologies that may be secondary to
hypercortisolism such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis
etc.."

Hi Susan,

Hope you are feeling better...

Will, T2
