Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cushing's syndrome is characterized by hyperglycemia, muscle weakness and fatigue, poor wound healing, and physical changes such as "moon-face" and "buffalo hump." However, hypernatremia, which is high levels of sodium in the blood, is not a typical finding in Cushing's syndrome. In fact, hyponatremia, or low levels of sodium, may occur due to increased levels of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) secretion.
