High cortisol can lead to cortisol Hyperplasia, obesity and other symptoms.
Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. Its main function is to increase gluconeogenesis. It is divided into free and combined forms. If cortisol is high, it may cause metabolic disorders of sugar, protein, fat and electrolytes, leading to a variety of organ dysfunctions. If high cortisol is not treated, it may become hypercortisolism, which is often referred to as Cushing’s syndrome, and also cause central obesity, elevated blood sugar and other diseases, which can be treated with medication.
During treatment, patients also need to pay attention to daily healthy diet, reasonable diet, and not picky eaters on diet. You can eat more foods high in potassium and magnesium, and avoid foods high in salt and sugar, so as not to affect the recovery of the disease.
