Update on Diagnosis of Hyperadrenocorticism
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Approximately 80 to 85% of cases of hyperadrenocorticism in both dogs and cats are due to pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH), with the remainder due to an adrenocortical tumor (AT). Cortisol is the most common secretory product of the adrenal gland in hyperadrenocorticism, but excessive production of other steroid hormones (sex hormones, mineralocorticoids) has been reported in dogs and other species.

متن کاملDiagnosis of spontaneous canine hyperadrenocorticism: 2012 ACVIM consensus statement (small animal).
This report offers a consensus opinion on the diagnosis of spontaneous canine hyperadrenocorticism. The possibility that a patient has hyperadrenocorticism is based on the history and physical examination. Endocrine tests should be performed only when clinical signs consistent with HAC are present. None of the biochemical screening or differentiating tests for hyperadrenocorticism are perfect. ...
متن کاملSteroid Profiles in the Diagnosis of Canine Adrenal Disorders
INTRODUCTION Diagnosis of adrenal disease in domestic animals usually is dependent on the manipulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and the measurement of cortisol (i.e., ACTH stim test; low dose dexamethasone suppression (LDDS) test; urine cortisol/creatinine ratio test; or the combined dexamethasone suppression/ACTH stimulation test). More recently, other steroid measuremen...

The aim of this study was to compare two methods of immunoreactive cortisol determination in urine and an assessment of the validity of urine cortisol/creatinine ratio (UCCR) in dogs. The UCCR was measured in three groups of dogs: (...
متن کاملHyperadrenocorticism associated with sex steroid excess.
Diagnosis of sex steroid excess or hyperadrenocorticism in dogs may be challenging. Unlike Cushing's disease, sex steroid excess may have a multitude of manifestations that differ from standard hyperadrenocorticism. In particular, the clinical scenario of a dog with sex steroid imbalance involves one of three systems: dermatologic, reproductive, or hepatic. The history of a dog with hyperadreno...
