Özet

Objective: There is a tendency for thromboembolic events (TE) in Cushing's disease (CD) because of the cortisol excess itself and associated risk factors for TE. Whole blood viscosity (WBV) as a measure of hemorheological features may impact the development of TE. However, limited data are available on the status of these changes in CD. Herein, we aimed to compare WBV between patients with CD and the control group and evaluate the impact of CD treatment on WBV.
