Es una forma del sÃndrome de Cushing que ocurre en personas que toman hormonas glucocorticoides (también llamadas corticosteroides), como la prednisona.
Nombres alternativos:
SÃndrome de Cushing inducido por corticosteroides; SÃndrome de Cushing yatrógeno
Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo:
Exógeno quiere decir causado por algo por fuera del cuerpo. El sÃndrome de Cushing exógeno ocurre cuando la persona toma glucocorticoides sintéticos, como prednisona o dexametasona, para propósitos terapéuticos (por ejemplo, para tratar el asma).
Los signos y sÃntomas del sÃndrome de Cushing se deben a la sobreproducción de ciertas hormonas producidas por las glándulas suprarrenales , como el cortisol.
