    Cushing syndrome is a condition caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of the hormone cortisol. It can be characterized by central obesity, increased urinary cortisol and glucose, skin changes like striae, suppressed immunity, hypertension, and other metabolic changes. Cushing syndrome has iatrogenic causes from excessive corticosteroid use or noniatrogenic causes like certain tumors that secrete cortisol.
