Cushing's syndrome is caused by predisposing factors like adrenal or pituitary adenomas that produce excess cortisol, or from precipitating factors such as the excessive administration of corticosteroids. The excess cortisol production results in increased blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, and the characteristic physical changes of Cushing's syndrome including weight gain and thinning skin.
