Extractions: Cushing's Syndrome is well known in humans, cats and especially in dogs. It is also becoming more prevalent in horses, and yet there is little written about identifying it, and caring for horses who suffer from it. It is regarded as incurable in horses, though it is possible that horses can live reasonably happily for a long time whilst suffering from it. "Cushing's disease" is a term used in human medicine that refers to pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism. According to veterinary and human medical experts the disease is characterised by excessively high levels of steroids in the body. Steroids are compounds that circulate naturally in our bodies and our pets' bodies. Two major centres in the body regulate the levels of these steroids. The main centre is a gland in the brain called the pituitary. This gland controls most of the hormones in the body. This disease is called hyperadrenocorticism.; (hyper = too much; adreno = adrenal gland; cort = cortex, the outer layer of the adrenal gland; ism = process). Blood tests often help the diagnosis of Cushing's Syndrome, and they indicate high levels of blood glucose. This would be similar to diabetes, which is very rare in horses, but is sometimes found in horses with Cushing's.

Extractions: Cushings disease is also known as hyperadrenalcorticism and is caused by chronic excess levels of hormones, particularly corticosteroids or cortisol. This disease is typically seen in middle and older aged dogs and cats, although it is much less common in cats. Additionally, cats who are diagnosed with Cushings, also tend to have concurrent diabetes mellitus. To provide the best possible overview, listed below are the causes, symptoms, methods for diagnosing, current treatments available and resources for additional information and assistance.

Extractions: Cushing's Syndrome Contents: Who gets it? What are it's symptoms? What causes Cushing's syndrome? How is it diagnosed? ... What about the future? Cushing's Syndrome Cushing's syndrome, also known as hypercortisolism, occurs when a person's tissues are exposed to an excess of the hormone cortisol. When the appropriate amount of cortisol is released by the adrenal glands, it helps regulate blood pressure, energy production, the ability to fight disease, and how the body maintains itself and responds to stress. But too much cortisol can alter the normal function of these processes, resulting in the symptoms of Cushing's syndrome. Who gets it? Cushing's syndrome is fairly rare. For every one million people, 2-5 new cases are diagnosed each year, with about 10 percent of these being children and teenagers. What are its symptoms? Most children and teenagers with Cushing's syndrome will show several of the following: - extreme weight gain - growth retardation - missed periods in teenage girls - excess hair growth - acne - reddish-blue streaks on the skin - high blood pressure - tiredness and weakness - either very early or late puberty Adults with the disease may also have symptoms of extreme weight gain, excess hair growth, high blood pressure, and skin problems.

Extractions: Fax: 617.723.3674 Email: cushinfo@csrf.net By: Meg Keil, MS, CRNP How is Cushing's syndrome (CS) in children different than in adults? CS in children is rare. An estimated 10 to 15 of every million people are affected a year and only about ten percent of these new cases occur in children. For pre-pubertal children, and certainly for toddlers, adrenal tumors (e.g. adenoma, carcinoma, or bilateral hyperplasia) are a more common cause of CS. In older children, pituitary adenomas are a more common cause of CS. Ectopic (a site other than pituitary or adrenal) sources of CS are extremely rare in children. Overall, there is a female to male predominance, which decreases with younger age. There is no single symptom shared by every child with CS. It is common for children with CS to show an increase in rate of weight gain accompanied by a decrease in growth rate (linear height). Figure A shows a growth chart that is typically seen in children with CS. Other problems that may occur in children with CS include: rounded face, reddened

http://www.laminitis.org/cushings.html

Extractions: Vol 13. No 4 July p 147-148 Hyperadrenocorticism produces the opposite changes in hair coat in the two species. In equines this condition is usually secondary to an adenoma, or hyperplasia, of the pars intermedia of the pituitary gland whereas in the dog the syndrome may be primarily of adrenal origin. In horses there appears to be insufficient DOPamine being released from the hypothalamus. DOPamine inhibits the pars intermedia of the pituitary gland. Therefore when there is less DOPamine there is less inhibition of the pars intermedia which then increases in size. Equine Cushing's cases always develop laminitis if they live long enough. They may become immunosuppressed and subject to a variety of parasitic or infectious agents such as helminthiasis or pneumonia. Many cases show muscle loss and become polydipsic and polyphagic; they may be diabetic. A supra-orbital swelling, due to the deposition of a fat depot, is commonly seen giving the eyes a protuberant appearance. To the trained observer, these cases can be diagnosed on clinical appearance and history alone. The clinical signs include;

Extractions: Home Systemic diseases Cushing's syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure to inappropriately high levels of plasma glucocorticoid (also referred to as cortisol) hormones. Glucocorticoid hormones maintain glucose regulation, suppress the immune response and are released as part of the body's response to stress. The production of cortisol from within the cortex of the adrenal glands is regulated by a small gland just below the brain called the pituitary gland. There are several causes of Cushing's syndrome: Adrenocortical hyperplasia (overgrowth of adrenal cortex) secondary to pituitary overproduction of adrenocorticotrophic hormome (ACTH) Non-cancerous pituitary tumours that secrete increased amounts of ACTH Benign or malignant adrenal tumours that release excess glucocorticoids into the blood corticosteroids such as prednisone for blistering diseases, asthma, arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Extractions: Mitotane has been considered as treatment of choice for canine hyperadrenocorticism. However, this drug has potential severe side effects and, therefore, safer alternatives for treatment of hyperadrenocorticism are needed. Other described medical options (ketoconazole, l-deprenyl, aminoglutethimide) are quite less effective. In some pilot studies, trilostane seemed to be safe and effective for the management of hyperadrenocorticism. However, it is still necessary to know the dosage and the duration of the effect, in order to establish a protocol of use in the management of this disease. Vet Rec 2002 Jun 29;150(26):799-804 : Trilostane treatment of 78 dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism. The efficacy of trilostane in the treatment of canine pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) was evaluated in 78 dogs with the condition which were treated for up to three years. The drug appeared to be well tolerated by almost all the dogs, and only two developed clinical signs and biochemical evidence of hypoadrenocorticism. Polyuria and polydipsia completely resolved in 70 per cent of the dogs that had these problems, and skin changes resolved in 62 per cent of the dogs that had skin abnormalities.

Patients with Cushing's disease are studied before and after treatment. Brain imaging and neuropsychologic tests are used to study changes in the hippocampus and thinking and learning functions as well as mood during the period of elevated cortisol. At several intervals after treatment, these are reexamined to study the degree of reversibility of the abnormalities. The contribution of cortisol as well as testosterone and estrogen to dysfunction and recovery is studied. Since elevated cortisol and dysregulation of its secretory system occurs in a significant proportion of the aged and in Alzheimers Disease and Major Depressive Disorder, these studies will help advance knowledge of the role of cortisol in these conditions.

Extractions: Anatomy Physiology Introduction Cushing's Disease (also know as hyperadrenocorticism- Cushing's is easier to pronounce so stick with that word) results when the adrenal glands secrete an excess amount of cortisone. It is the most common endocrinopathy (hormone disease) encountered in older dogs. This disease is the exact opposite of another endocrine problem in dogs called addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism). This detailed page will emphasize Cushing's disease in dogs, with an explanation of how it differs from cats at the end. This is a complex disease that does not lend itself to a simple explanation or an easy diagnosis. You might want to go to the bathroom before attempting this page! We have a summary page on Cushing's if the explanation on this page is too detailed for your needs.

The adrenal glands produce cortisol. Cushing's disease is the most common type of Cushing's syndrome. It is caused by a noncancerous tumor of the pituitary gland. What is going on in the body? Cushing's syndrome occurs when body tissues are exposed to high levels of cortisol for a long time. Cortisol is an important hormone that regulates many body functions, including stress management. A part of the brain known as the hypothalamus sends CRH, a hormone, to the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland then produces another hormone called ACTH. The ACTH then stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. The hypothalamus and pituitary monitor blood levels of cortisol. They adjust their hormone release as needed. This maintains a normal balance of cortisol. Sometimes the cortisol balance in the body is thrown off. The person may have excess cortisol under the following conditions:
