Cushing ds: secondary Cushing :increased cortisol and ACTH, high-dose dexamethasone test positive, low dose dex test is negative
Cushing syndrome: primary Cushing, increased cortisol and decreased ACTH, low-does and high-dose dexamethasone tests are negative
ACTH secreting tumor: increased cortisol and ACTH, low dose and high dose dexamethasome tests are negative.
