Hyperadrenocorticism arises from the overproduction of glucocorticoid hormones by one or both adrenal glands. In this scenario, it’s also known as Cushing’s disease. This condition can also come as the result of chronic or excessive administration of steroid medications, which is then classified as Cushing’s syndrome. In atypical cases, other adrenal hormones, such as sex hormones, may also be elevated.
1) Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PHD): This condition develops when a tumor of the pituitary gland produces high levels of adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH), which subsequently cause the adrenal glands to become overactive.
2) Iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism: This condition is the result of prolonged or excessive administration of glucocorticoid medications. The adjective iatrogenic refers to an illness or disease brought on by medication or treatment.
Some of the signs include increased thirst, urination, and appetite. Symmetrical thinning or loss of hair may also be visible. Thinning or darkening of the skin, skin that bruises easily, panting, and heat intolerance. Urinary tract and skin infections are also possible symptoms.
The diagnostic Cushing’s test for dogs is based on the history of prolonged exposure to steroid medication and can be confirmed through laboratory evidence of low adrenal gland function. Since no single clinical sign is specific to the disease, the diagnosis of Cushing’s disease requires laboratory testing and other diagnostic methods. These may include the ACTH response test, urine cortisol/creatinine ratio, and the modified high-dose dexamethasone test. Unfortunately, the results for dog Cushing’s disease tests may not be clear. This only adds to the challenge of accurately diagnosing this disease.
If your dog has Cushing’s syndrome, it can be treated by slow, tapered withdrawal of steroid medications. PHD can be treated with medication. If adrenal tumors are present, these may be treated by surgical removal or medication.
Hyperadrenocorticism in dogs requires constant visits to the vet because this disease is complicated to treat. Your pet will need frequent adjustment of their medication dosage and constant laboratory testing.
The drugs used to treat this disorder are potentially toxic, such as Mitotane. It is very important to understand the side effects of the prescribed drugs. The medication may not reverse the clinical signs, and hyperadrenocorticism may decrease the life span of the dog.
Supraglan for Dogs: This supplement is a balancing formula that helps control adrenal hormones. It also provides support for pituitary gland dysfunction. You can find one success story right here.
NHV Milk Thistle for Dogs: Studies have shown that milk thistle can enhance the suppression of ACTH secretion, and can restore glucocorticoid sensitivity in dogs with Cushing’s disease as a result of this action. It also detoxifies the liver and kidneys by helping to remove toxins that can build up in your pet’s system from pharmaceuticals or chemical-laden foods. Milk thistle can improve liver and kidney function, support regeneration of the liver, and even provide support for overworked kidneys. It’s also known for its antioxidant properties and may offer the benefit of anti-cancer support.
Multi Essentials for Dogs: This is a plant-based multivitamin with herbal extracts that helps to fill nutritional voids, aid digestion, and enhance nutrient absorption. Multi Essentials also helps stimulate the metabolism, reduces fatigue, increases energy and promotes a healthy coat and skin for your pet.
