Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cushing's syndrome is characterized by hyperglycaemia, muscle weakness and fatigue, and poor wound healing. However, hypernatraemia (high levels of sodium in the blood) is not a common characteristic of this syndrome. Instead, patients with Cushing's syndrome may experience hyponatraemia (low levels of sodium in the blood) due to the effects of excess cortisol on the kidneys.
