13. Pawsitive Advice - Addisons Disease Addison s Disease is also known as adrenal insufficiency or In Addison s disease, the potassium levels become elevated with subsequent nausea, vomiting, http://www.geocities.com/labsr4ulist/pawaddisons.htm

Addison's Disease The following article was composed by Rachel Peeples , DVM The adrenal gland in the canine body is responsible for making several hormones, two of which are glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids (better known as hydrocortisone, prednisone, etc) act as antiinflammatories and as catabolic agents, that is they promote the break down of protein, fat, etc for energy. They also have a variety of less well described functions. Mineralocorticioids are responsible for maintaining proper level of Potassium and Sodium primarily but other electrolytes as well. Addison's Disease is also known as adrenal insufficiency or hypoadrenalcorticism and is characterized by a lack or insufficient production of both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids.

Following the letter you will find the Sample ID Form and the Blood Sample Collection and Shipping Proceedures, both in .pdf format. Addison’s Disease Study in Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers A blood sample can be collected by your veterinarian according to the instructions in the “Blood Sample Collection” information sheet attached to this email. The address to send samples to is also included on this sheet. If you prefer to use cheek swabs to send in your dog’s DNA sample, please contact Dr. Hughes for swabs and instructions. The information you provide for the study and your dog’s genetic results will be kept strictly confidential. However, if you would like your affected dog’s name included on a public list of Tollers with Addison’s disease, please mark the appropriate box on the information sheet. Additionally, if you would like to authorize use of your dog’s DNA in future research projects, please mark the appropriate box.

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.

How important is early detection? Addison's disease can present suddenly in young healthy pets, or in older pets that have been through major stress situations eg intensive care for road a traffic accident. Affected dogs are in severe shock with pale gums, slow heart rates, weak pulse, cool extremities and often have upset stomachs and weakness. The clinician would start to get alarm bells ringing when considering the age, history and findings at examination. Bloods for electrolytes and biochemistries often show high potassium levels and elevation of the kidney enzymes. If the potassium is elevated, an EKG (ECG) would show a slow heart rate and depressed P waves (the part of the ECG showing the smaller heart chambers, atria, contracting) Addison's disease is a life threatening condition that must be treated ASAP. Untreated dogs are usually dead within 24 hours from heart failure brought on by the increased potassium levels.

If you have 100 cats and feed them the same food, a few will develop crystals in their urine which look very similar to salt granules. The most common type of crystal is made up of calcium and phosphorous and is called Struvite. Struvite crystals will appear in alkaline ( high pH ) urine, and dissolve like sugar in a cup of tea if the urine is acid ( low pH ). The crystals are very sharp and irritate the lining of the urinary bladder and tubing that carries the urine out of the body ( urethra Normal Urinary system in cats Feline Urological Disease in cats (FUS) Trademark owned or used under licence by Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc.

PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Addison’s Disease In Western world, 70% of all cases are due to autoimmune adrenalitis causing atrophic adrenal cortex . Main autoantibody is to adrenal enzyme, 21-hydroxylase. Half of patients have associated autoimmune disease. Two types of ‘polyglandular’ autoimmune syndromes: Type I – inherited autosomal recessive condition with defect in immunity – Addison's disease combined with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis together with hypoparathyroidism (rare condition presenting in childhood). Type II – more common comprises Addison’s disease together with autoimmune thyroid disorder (usually hypothyroidism), hypogonadism and type 1 diabetes mellitus . Other causes of primary Addison’s disease are very rare including metastatic tumours, lyphoma and amyloid. Secondary hypoadrenalism Due to ACTH deficiency. Common clinical problem due to sudden stopping of exogenous steroids or failing to give steroid cover for intercurrent illness in those on long-term steroid therapy.

Z Addisons disease Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Addison's disease is a hormone deficiency caused by damage to the outer layer of the adrenal gland (adrenal cortex). Alternative Names: Adrenocortical hypofunction; Chronic adrenocortical insufficiency; Adrenal insufficiency Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The adrenal glands are 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 three types of hormones: sex hormones, glucocorticoid hormones, and mineralocorticoid hormones. The sex hormones, androgens (male) and estrogens (female) affect sexual development and reproduction.
