Screening test for Cushing's syndrome include 24-hour urine, free cortisol measurement, blood glucose measurement,
17-hydroxycorticosteroid and midnight serum cortisol concentrations, and the dexamethasone suppression test.
First, urinary
17-hydroxycorticosteroid 117 OHCS) level was measured which was normal (11.72 mg/day, normal: 9.00-22.00 mg/day).
Over 75% of patients achieve normal levels of urinary free cortisol and
17-hydroxycorticosteroid while on ketoconazole (Greenberg, 2001).
The historic 24-h 17-hydroxycorticosteroid test is not recommended as a screening test for Cushing syndrome because of low diagnostic accuracy (12).

Finally, the book claims that high-dose dexamethasone suppression testing fails to decrease urinary
17-hydroxycorticosteroid production in Cushing disease.
The excretion of
17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS) and 17-keto steroids (17-KS) in urine was 2.4 mg/day and 2.5 mg/day, respectively, both of which were below the normal ranges (2.6-7.8 mg/day and 3.1-8.8 mg/day, resp.).
Examples of physiological systems that have been reported to be affected include ACTH, oxytocin, vasopressin, norepinephrine, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, and
17-hydroxycorticosteroids, immune, and cardiovascular functions.
The serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level and urinary excretion of 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (OHCS) did not differ among the pregnant groups.
