A member asked:
All the symptoms of cushings but negative suppression test does it rule it out ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No!: Suppression tests are screening tests. A negative screening test reduces the chances of Cushings, but does NOT rule it out. If symptoms remain strongly suggestive, then you need an endocrinologist to do a more detailed and definitive evaluation of your adrenal gland function.
