[edit on Wikidata] Pituitary ACTH hypersecretion (or Cushing disease) is a form of hyperpituitarism characterized by an abnormally high level of ACTH produced by the anterior pituitary. It is one of the causes of Cushing's syndrome. (However, Cushing's syndrome can be caused by many other causes, including exogenous administration.) ^ Drouin J, Bilodeau S, Vallette S (September 2007). Of old and new diseases: genetics of pituitary ACTH excess (Cushing) and deficiency.
Some patients have sustained high cortisol levels without the symptoms of Cushingâs syndrome or disease. These high cortisol levels may be compensating for the bodyâs resistance to cortisolâs effects. This rare syndrome of cortisol resistance is a genetic condition that causes hypertension and chronic androgen excess. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is another condition that may share some of the same symptoms as Cushingâs.
