Article Synopsis
- Cushing's disease (CD) co-occurring with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is rare and makes diagnosis challenging due to CKD-induced hypercortisolism; this report presents three female cases to improve understanding of diagnosis in such contexts.
- Each patient, aged between 12 and 16, had various CKD-related conditions and presented symptoms typical of CD, which were confirmed through clinical and biochemical evaluations; surgical interventions led to remission, but some patients developed pituitary deficiencies.
- These cases highlight the need for careful clinical assessment in diagnosing CD among CKD patients, as clear diagnostic criteria are currently lacking.
