Urinary corticoid/creatinine ratio in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism

Hyperadrenocorticism: 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.

Evaluation of pressor sensitivity to norepinephrine infusion in dogs with iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism. Pressor sensitivity in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism.

Hypertension is a common complication of canine hyperadrenocorticism. Increased pressor sensitivity to endogenous catecholamines is currently believed to be the main mechanism involved in the development of hypertension in human hyperadrenocorticism. The aim of this study was to evaluate pressor sensitivity to norepinephrine in dogs after induction of iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism (I-HAC) by ...

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, ...

Canine Pancreatic‐Specific Lipase Concentrations in Clinically Healthy Dogs and Dogs with Naturally Occurring Hyperadrenocorticism

BACKGROUND Specificity of canine pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (cPLI) assays in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) is unknown. HYPOTHESIS Results of cPLI assays differ for clinically healthy dogs and dogs with HAC. ANIMALS Seventeen healthy dogs and 20 dogs with HAC diagnosed by ACTH stimulation test results without evidence of clinical pancreatitis. METHODS Dogs were enrolled betw...

Glycosylated Hemoglobin Concentrations in Dogs with Hyperadrenocorticism and/or Diabetes Mellitus Compared to Clinically Healthy Dogs
