Sympathetic nervous system overactivity - anxiety, panic attacks, hypertension, palpitations, tremor, sweating, headache. | Phaeochromocytoma |
High cortisol, low ACTH | Adrenal origin, Cushing's syndrome |
Suppression at 2mg of dexamethasone | Normal individual |
High cortisol, high ACTH and suppression at 8mg of dexamethasone | Cushing's disease - pituitary adenoma |
High cortisol, high ACTH and is not suppressed at 8mg of dexamethasone | Ectopic origin, Cushing's syndrome |
Low cortisol and synathcen does not increase it significantly | Addison's disease |
In patients with diabetes insipidus, administering ADH will increase the urine osmolality. | Central cause of diabetes insipidus |

Administration of glucose causes an increase in growth hormone | Acromegaly |
Administration of glucose causes a decrease in growth hormone. | Normal individual |
Low cortisol and low ACTH | Damaged pituitary |

High cortisol and low ACTH | Autonomous adrenal gland |
High total T4 concentration, normal TSH and normal free T4 | An increase in thyroxine binding globulin due to pregnancy, oestrogen treatment or the oral contraceptive pill |
The inability to form IGF-1, resulting in short stature and high levels of GH | Laron dwarfism |
An insulin receptor defect | Leprechaunism |
Low TSH with high T4 | Hyperthyroidism |
High TSH with low T4 | Hypothyroidism |
