Need a confirmatory: test. The diagnosis of Cushings needs to positive screening tests, because sometimes you can get a false positive. The other screening tests include a Dexamethasone suppression test or midnight salivary cortisol. If the confirmatory test is elevated, then it is highly likely that you have cushings.
