Addison's vs Cushing's | Endocrine System (Part 2)

This is part 2 in this series on the endocrine system in which we will be talking about Cushing's vs Addison's. We will be covering all the ways in which they are similar but more importantly, all the ways in which they are different.

We start the lesson off with a quick review of the pathway for corticosteroid production as a review from the previous lesson. We talk about the hypothalamus releasing CRH to stimulate the pituitary gland to release ACTH and this stimulating the adrenal cortex to release its hormones.

From there we start talking about Addison's disease. We cover what it is, its causes, the patho, how we diagnose and finally the treatment for it.

Next we talk about Cushing's syndrone, again talking about what it is, its causes as well, the different patho, and the diagnosis and treament for this one.

Lastly we conclude things with quick comparison of the difference between these 2 side by side and help you to be able to distinguish one over the other as well as some advice to help you remember what is happening in the disease process with each particular disease.

At the end of this lesson we hope that you will have a much better understanding of these 2 processes and to be able to recognize the difference in these in your patients as well as to give you the knowledge of what to look for and how to treat them.
