Addison's Disease is a hormonal disorder that results in a decreased production of glucocorticoids and mineral corticoids by the adrenal gland. These substances are responsible for a host of functions including metabolism, electrolyte and water balance, and the ability of the body to deal with stress. There is evidence that this disease runs in families in a number of breeds including Leonbergers. Preliminary studies at UC Davis have shown that Addison's Disease in the Leonberger is heritable and suggests that genes from both parents may be required. Symptoms: The onset of vague signs such as poor appetite with weight loss, vomiting and lethargy, chronic or recurrent diarrhea in adult dogs varying from age 2 to 6. These symptoms may not lead to an immediate diagnosis, which, in turn, can lead to an acute crisis and shock. This usually occurs after a stressful episode (such as anesthesia), and can be very severe and possibly fatal if not identified and treated immediately. Diagnosis: Is not always easy since Addison's Disease symptoms can mimic many other much less severe and more common diseases. A presumptive diagnosis can often be made by running standard blood tests and can be confirmed by hormone testing of the adenal gland.

Back to Top General Addison's Disease Information Addison’s disease is a rare disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands are not able to produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol affects nearly every organ in the body and is important for normal bodily function; aldosterone helps the body retain salt and water. Addison’s disease is the most common cause of adrenal gland failure, which results in insufficient production of these important hormones in the body. Addison’s disease affects both males and females of all ages, including children. Back to Top Possible Causes of Addison's Disease Addison’s disease occurs when the body’s immune system destroys the part of the adrenal glands that produce cortisol and aldosterone. The adrenal glands can also be destroyed by other diseases (like tuberculosis, HIV infection, cancer and bacterial infection), some types of surgery, radiation treatments, bleeding in the adrenal glands due to blood-thinning medications and injury to the glands during late stages of pregnancy or during childbirth.

Vetinfo Canine Encyclopedia Feline Encyclopedia VetInfo Digest ... Your Turn Encyclopedia of Canine Veterinary Medical Information Addison's disease (Hypoadrenocorticism) Addison's disease is also known as hypoadrenocorticism. It is an insufficient production of adrenal hormones by the adrenal gland. Since these hormones are essential for life, this is an extremely serious disease and it must be treated as such. Adrenal insufficiency can be primary or secondary. Primary adrenocorticism affects salt/potassium balance in the body and glucorticoid as well. Secondary adrenocorticism usually only affects the glucocorticoids. It is not known why primary adrenocorticism occurs but it may be an immune mediated process. Secondary adrenocorticism probably occurs most often when prednisone or other cortisone being administered for medical reasons are suddenly withdrawn. It can occur as a result of pituitary cancer or some other process that interferes with production of hormones that stimulate the adrenal glands. Most dogs with Addison's disease initially have gastrointestinal disturbances like vomiting. Lethargy it also a common early sign. Poor appetite can occur as well. These are pretty vague signs and it is extremely easy to miss this disease. More severe signs occur when a dog with hypoadrenocorticism is stressed or when potassium levels get high enough to interfere with heart function. Dogs with this problem will sometimes suffer severe shock symptoms when stressed, which can lead to a rapid death. When potassium levels get high heart arrythmias occur or even heart stoppage which also is fatal. In some cases, especially secondary Addison's disease, there are no detectable electrolyte changes.

Addison's and pain control also see Multi disorders also see Hormonal Disorders also see Medication also see Florinef Addisons disease treatments Question: I have a Dalmatian with Addison's disease. She gets a shot of percoten once a month and is doing very well. The cost of her shot has just gone up to $115.00 a month. Is there any way I can get this medication on my own and administer it? I am disabled and the expense is getting to be a real problem for me. The idea of putting her down is very disturbing to me especially since she has done so well with the treatment. Thank you, Irene Answer: Irene- It may be a lot less expensive to treat with fludrocortisone IF you are willing to use a compounding pharmacy to obtain the medication and can afford to pay for some additional testing early on to make sure it works OK for your dog (monitoring potassium and sodium for a few weeks). There have been reports of compounded fludrocortisone not working as well but it is a lot less expensive and it appears to work for many dogs. You might ask your vet to check into this option for you, especially since the lower long term cost seems potentially critical to your Dalmatian's survival in your situation.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The adrenal glands are small hormone-secreting organs located on top of each kidney. They consist of the outer portion (called the cortex) and the inner portion (called the medulla). The cortex produces 3 types of hormones: sex hormones, glucocorticoid hormones, and mineralocorticoid hormones. The sex hormones, androgens (male) and estrogens (female) affect sexual development and reproduction. The glucocorticoid hormones (such as cortisol) maintain glucose (sugar) regulation, suppress the

Since corticotrophin affects melanin production, excess levels of corticotropins may cause dark pigmentation of the skin and lining of the mouth. What is Addison's disease? Addison's disease is the result of an underactive adrenal gland. An underactive adrenal gland produces insufficient amounts of corticosteroid hormones. Four in every 100,000 people have Addison's disease. What causes Addison's disease? Most of the time, the cause of the disease is unknown. About one-third of Addison's disease cases are caused by the actual destruction of the adrenal glands through cancer, infection, or other diseases. Other causes may include: Use of corticosteroids as a treatment (such as prednisone) causes a slow down in production of natural corticosteroids by the adrenal glands.

Although Addison's disease is considered a rare disease, it is estimated that at least 10,000 individuals in the United States have this condition (this is probably an underestimation). Individuals suffering from Addison's disease are often misdiagnosed or go for long painful periods without proper diagnosis. Symptoms of these diseases often mirror those of chronic fatigue syndrome including steadily worsening fatigue, a loss of appetite and some weight loss. Blood pressure is low and falls further when a person is standing, producing lightheadedness. Because of salt loss, a craving for salty foods is common. There may be a darkening of the skin that may look like an inappropriate tan on a person who feels ill. NADF is committed to bringing information regarding these rare diseases into the public's awareness to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment; sponsors support groups across the country allowing for an exchange of ideas and feelings by individuals who share a common illness; and members receive quarterly newsletters, educational materials, and access to a library of related information.
