Introduction: i.e. hypercortisolemia. Can be primary (from an adrenal tumor or other malignancy) or secondary (from a pituitary tumor, called Cushing's Disease).

The likelihood ratios of findings for Cushing's Syndrome are listed below. See the left navigation bar to change the display.

Pre-Test Probability (Prevalence): %. Post-Test Probability (Predictive Value): %. Switch to display mode.
**Note that calculating probabilities from more than one finding is inherently inaccurate because findings are not independent. (For example, using two positive findings that share a common pathogenesis is likely to overestimate the true probability.)
