Medical Encyclopedia Endocrine Glands 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.
Addison's Disease
Addisons disease is a rare disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands are not able to produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.
http://www.herbalremedies.com/addisons.html

Extractions: Addisons 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. Addisons disease is the most common cause of adrenal gland failure, which results in insufficient production of these important hormones in the body. Addisons disease affects both males and females of all ages, including children. Addisons disease occurs when the bodys 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.

Extractions: Addison's disease is a rare endocrine or hormonal disorder that affects about 1 in 100,000 people. It occurs in all age groups and afflicts men and women equally. The disease is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both exposed and nonexposed parts of the body. Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and in some cases, the hormone aldosterone. For this reason, the disease is sometimes called chronic adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism. Cortisol is normally produced by the adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys. It belongs to a class of hormones called glucocorticoids, which affect almost every organ and tissue in the body. Scientists think that cortisol has possibly hundreds of effects in the body. Cortisol's most important job is to help the body respond to stress. Among its other vital tasks, cortisol: helps maintain blood pressure and cardiovascular function;

Extractions: Name: Email: You Are Here: Home FAQs Hormones Primary problems with the adrenal glands or with the pituitary gland can lead to a condition known as Addison's Disease , in which the adrenal glands fail to produce adequate amounts of cortisol. This condition occurs in persons of all ages and affects approximately one in 100,000 people per year. Symptoms are fatigue, low blood pressure, weight loss, weakness, loss of appetite, moodiness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The production of other hormones by the adrenals is also often affected, with reduced levels of the hormone aldosterone (important for body salt and water balance) and is often accompanied with a reduction in cortisol.

Addison's Disease
Addison s disease is also known as hypoadrenocorticism. Most dogs with Addison s disease initially have gastrointestinal disturbances like vomiting.
http://www.vetinfo.com/dencyclopedia/deaddisons.html

Extractions: 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.

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 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.

Extractions: Lack of corticosteroids in the blood may cause the pituitary gland to produce more corticotropin hormones to stimulate the adrenal glands. 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? 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.

Most cases of Addison disease are thought to be immune mediated. It is a relatively uncommon disease in dogs and extremely rare in cats.
http://www.berkshirevet.com/infoaddison.htm

Extractions: (Hypoadrenocorticism) The adrenal glands are situated in the body at the cranial edge of the kidneys. Adrenocortical insufficiency or hypoadrenocorticism results from deficient production of glucocorticoids, mineralcorticoids, or both. Mineralcorticoids are responsible for the reabsorption of sodium and chloride. Decreased mineralcorticoid secretion results in loss of sodium, which causes an increase of potassium in the blood. High blood levels of potassium can lead to life threatening heart problems. Glucocorticoids have a multitude of functions and effects. They are involved in carbohydrate breakdown, they enhance glycogen storage and they surpress systemic immunity. Decreased glucocorticoid secretion can gause gastrointestinal signs such as loss of appetite, vomiting and abdominal pain. Most cases of Addison disease are thought to be immune mediated. It is a relatively uncommon disease in dogs and extremely rare in cats. There may be a genetic predisposition in several breeds of dogs, including standard poodles, Labrador retreivers, and Portugese water spaniels. A high index of suspicion is often needed to diagnose this uncommon disease. The trouble with diagnosis is the signs animals have with Addison's are similar to the signs of numerous other conditions. There is no one clinical sign that pinpoints one to diagnose Addison disease. Common clinical findings are depression, weakness, gastrointestinal upset and a slow heart rate.
