Hypercortisolism Drug-induced

**Hypercortisolism** is a state of excessive production of glucocorticoids, which are hormones of the adrenal glands. This can be caused by many reasons, including diseases of the gland itself, genetic abnormalities, poor diet, stress, etc. Treatment for hypercortisolism may include medications as well as surgical correction. In this article we will look at **drug-induced hypercortisolism.**

**Drug-induced hypercorticosis** is a clinical syndrome characterized by hypersecretion of GCS (glucocorticoids) by the adrenal cortex against the background of pathological stimulation from the pituitary gland. In this case, hypercorticosal syndrome can manifest itself either independently, not accompanied by other endocrine disorders, or coexist with hyperpituitarism (basic and cortical-activating GCS ACTH).

In recent years, hypercortisia has become one of the most pressing problems in medicine. Epidemiological studies indicate that the incidence of this disease is increasing among adults, children, and youth. Fortunately, modern medicine has learned to diagnose and treat hypercortical conditions, however, despite modern research on the way to getting rid of hormone-dependent obesity,
