Global Cushings Syndrome Treatment Market Overview

Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by the presence of excess steroid hormone cortisol or stress hormone in blood vessel. Mostly it is due to steroid drugs, but it can also occur from overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Treatment options include reducing steroid use, surgery and others. This type of syndrome includes symptoms such as high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, round red face, a fatty lump between the shoulders, weak muscles and bones, acne, fragile skin and others. Most Cushing’s syndrome is caused by pituitary adenoma, and multiple endocrine neoplasia. Mostly side effects seen in this syndrome are diarrhea, nausea, high blood sugar or diabetes, headache, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Drugs use to control the production of cortisol include ketoconazole, mitotane (Lysodren) and metyrapon (Metopirone). Mifepristone (Korlym, Mifeprex) are approved for people who have type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance.

Cushing’s syndrome is also seen in dogs which are mainly marked by lethargy and poor hair coat with bloated or pot-bellied appearance. The increased appetite is a direct result of elevated levels of cortisol. Life expectancy of a dog diagnosed varies, based on various factors like age, other health issues, genetics and plain old resiliency and ranges from 2-6 years.
