Core Tip Hypercortisolism and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease share multiple comorbidities, with a higher prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in Cushing’s syndrome, indicating cortisol may contribute to liver pathogenesis. As a key target and major metabolic site of cortisol, the liver is integral to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. This minireview summarizes their association, underlying molecular pathways, and cortisol metabolites as potential liver biomarkers.
