Does Cushing syndrome cause abdominal pain?
See Glucocorticoid Therapy and Cushing Syndrome. Physical findings that occur in a patient in adrenal crisis include hypotension, abdominal pain, vomiting, and mental confusion (secondary to low serum sodium or hypotension).
What body systems are affected by Cushing's syndrome?
The adrenal gland endocrine system includes the adrenal glands and pituitary gland. Signals from the pituitary gland stimulate the adrenal glands' production of cortisol. Cortisol levels are sensed by the pituitary gland. Too much of the hormone cortisol in your body causes Cushing syndrome.
