Complications
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you don't receive prompt treatment for Cushing's syndrome, other complications may occur, such as:
- Bone loss (osteoporosis), due to the damaging effects of excess cortisol
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Kidney stones
- Diabetes
- Frequent or unusual infections
- Loss of muscle mass and strength
When the cause of Cushing's syndrome is a pituitary tumor (Cushing's disease), it can sometimes lead to other problems, such as interfering with the production of other hormones that the pituitary controls.
