Q

How to determine if it is ACTH-independent Cushings?

A

Measure ACTH
If ACTH suppressed, then have an ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome
(do MRI do confirm an adrenal tumor)

If the ACTH is elevated, then have ACTH dependent Cushing syndrome

The next step is to do a high dose, dexamethsone suppresion test OR CRH stimulation test

CRH
(Increase ACTH, and cortisol = Cushing disease)
No increase in ACTH means ectopic (ectopics don’t respond to stimulation, they are independent).

If adequate suppression (Cushing disease)
No suppression then have ectopic ACTH secretion
