Serum Cortisol Concentrations in Dogs with Pituitary‐Dependent Hyperadrenocorticism and Atypical Hyperadrenocorticism
BACKGROUND Atypical hyperadrenocorticism (AHAC) is considered when dogs have clinical signs of hypercortisolemia with normal hyperadrenocorticism screening tests. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To compare cortisol concentrations and adrenal gland size among dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH), atypical hyperadrenocorticism (AHAC), and healthy controls. ANIMALS Ten healthy dogs, ...
متن کاملHypercoagulability in dogs: pathophysiology.
The risk of hypercoagulability is increased when the hemostatic balance between procoagulant and anticoagulant mechanisms is shifted in favor of coagulation. Hypercoagulability is an increasingly recognized contributor to the deleterious manifestations of veterinary disease. The basis for thrombus formation in many acquired diseases is being investigated and more clearly defined. A thorough und...
متن کاملComparison of 2 Doses for ACTH Stimulation Testing in Dogs Suspected of or Treated for Hyperadrenocorticism
BACKGROUND Lowering the cosyntropin dose needed for ACTH stimulation would make the test more economical. OBJECTIVES To compare the cortisol response to 1 and 5 μg/kg cosyntropin IV in dogs being screened for hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) and in dogs receiving trilostane or mitotane for pituitary-dependent HAC. ANIMALS Healthy dogs (n = 10); client-owned dogs suspected of having HAC (n = 39) o...
متن کاملHypercoagulability in dogs: treatment.
Hypercoagulability is a state in which the hemostatic balance shifts toward excessive platelet activation and fibrin deposition, leading to thrombosis. Although a definitive diagnosis is often difficult to make, identifying patients at risk for thromboembolism is critical. By identifying these patients and understanding mechanisms that contribute to hypercoagulability, clinicians can select pro...
متن کاملHyperadrenocorticism: treating dogs.
This article is a complete review of all reported therapies for hyperadrenocorticism in dogs. Both medical and surgical options for treating pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism and adrenal tumor-related disease are discussed, and the efficacy, safety, and use of these treatments are compared.
