What are thecomplications from cushings disease?

High cortisol effect: Cushing's disease refers to a benign pituitary tumor making too much acth hormone --- which will then cause the adrenals to overproduce cortisol. Too much cortisol in the body can cause multiple effects: weight increase, body/face shape changes, high glucose, abnormal cholesterol, high bp, thin easily bruised skin, cataracts, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction, mental changes, swelling, and others.

Cushing's syndrome: Agree with dr. Chu. Excess cortisol effects are more commonly seen with cushing's syndrome- due to glucocorticoid steroid medication (antiinflammatory), not the banned in sports anabolic steroid (build muscle, other effects). Similar symptoms and signs as cushing's disease.
