Cushing Syndrome

Revere Health specializes in diagnosing and treating Cushing syndrome, a rare endocrine disorder characterized by excessive cortisol levels. This condition can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, bone loss, and increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Understanding Cushing Syndrome
Cushing syndrome may arise from exogenous causes, primarily long-term glucocorticoid use, or endogenous causes, where the body produces too much cortisol due to tumors. It commonly affects adults aged 30 to 50, with women being more frequently impacted.

Symptoms
Common symptoms include significant weight gain, a round face, thin limbs, easy bruising, and mood changes. These symptoms can resemble other conditions, making accurate diagnosis essential.

Diagnosis and Treatment
At Revere Health, we employ a comprehensive approach, utilizing urine, saliva, and blood tests to evaluate cortisol levels. Treatment plans are tailored to individual needs and may involve adjusting medications, surgical options, or medication to control cortisol production.

Comprehensive Care
Our dedicated team provides personalized care, addressing not only the symptoms of Cushing syndrome but also potential complications. Located at the South Jordan Health Center, patients can schedule appointments without a referral.
