    Extractions: Cushing syndrome is caused by prolonged exposure to elevated levels of either endogenous or exogenous glucocorticoids. The degree of cortisol overproduction is very variable. The combination of often non-specific clinical manifestations and variable, cyclical biochemical parameters often makes the diagnosis difficult Epidemiology Risk factors Common causes Most common cause of Cushing's syndrome is the use of exogenous glucocorticoids. Endogenous glucocorticoid overproduction may be due to: ACTH secreting pituitary adenoma (Cushing's disease; 65% of endogenous cases). Presents with typical features of hypercortisolism, with little virilisation.

    Extractions: 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. Physiology The adrenal cortex produces: glucocorticoids (eg cortisol) which affect metabolic functions (carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism) and mineralocorticoids (eg aldosterone). Corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) from the hypothalamus stimulates ACTH (from pituitary) which stimulates cortisol and androgen production by the adrenal cortex. Cortisol is excreted as urinary free cortisol and as various 17-oxogenic steroids (17OGS). Cushing's syndrome Most cases of Cushing's syndrome are caused by exogenous corticosteroids. Of spontaneous cases, approximately 70% are caused by Cushing's disease of a pituitary ACTH-producing tumour, 15% are due to ectopic ACTH production, and 15% to a primary adrenal tumour. 90% of pituitary causes are microadenomas (defined as lesions less than 1cm in size) and MRI only detects 70% of them. The annual incidence of Cushing's disease is between 0.1 and 1.0 per 100,000 Corticotropin (ACTH) - dependent causes Cushing's disease Adrenal hyperplasia due to excess ACTH from pituitary tumour. Female preponderance of about 5:1. Peak age: 30 to 50 years.

    Extractions: Cushings Disease in Dachshunds What is it? Cushings disease/syndrome is a condition where the body produces too much hormone, particularly corticosteroids or cortisol. What causes it? The majority of the Cushings cases are caused by a benign tumor on the pituitary or adrenal glands which causes overproduction of a hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone which stimulates the production of corticosteroids by the adrenal gland. Other cases have occurred as the result of over administration of corticosteroids like Prednasone. Typical Symptoms? Some of the typical symptoms of Cushings are, increased or excessive drinking, increased or excessive urination, an enlarged or distended abdomen, muscle weakness, hair loss or thinning hair, panting, weakening of the heart and skeletal muscles, obesity and chronic or frequent infections. Diagnosis and Treatment As with any suspected medical condition, you should contact your veterinarian if you become concerned about your pets health. As part of an examination for Cushings a veterinarian will usually perform a complete blood count and chemistry panel. These tests will normally suggest the existence of Cushings. To confirm it, a test known as a low dose dexamethasone test is done. A baseline blood sample is drawn in the morning, an injection of desamethasone given and a followup blood test done 8 hours later. In a normal dog, the dexamethasone should suppress cortisol levels in the blood stream. In Cushing's disease this effect does not occur.

    Extractions: Sometimes, diabetes may be due to hormonal disturbances, such as Cushing's Syndrome. On this page: C ushing's syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure of the body's tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol. Sometimes called "hypercortisolism," it is relatively rare and most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50. An estimated 10 to 15 of every million people are affected each year. Top Symptoms vary, but most people have upper body obesity, rounded face, increased fat around the neck, and thinning arms and legs. Children tend to be obese with slowed growth rates. Other symptoms appear in the skin, which becomes fragile and thin. It bruises easily and heals poorly. Purplish pink stretch marks may appear on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms and breasts. The bones are weakened, and routine activities such as bending, lifting or rising from a chair may lead to backaches, rib and spinal column fractures. Most people have severe fatigue, weak muscles, high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Irritability, anxiety and depression are common.

    http://www.2ndchance.info/cushings.htm
    
    Extractions: Ron Hines DVM PhD 10/3/04 Cushing's disease or hyperadrenocorticism in dogs is occasionally encountered in dogs. Cushing's disease or hyperadrenocorticism in dogs is a problem in midlife and older age pets. Cushing's disease or hyperadrenocorticism of dogs affects one or both of the adrenal glands of the body. Cushing's disease or hyperadrenocorticism of dogs can be managed medically or surgically. Cushing's disease or hyperadrenocorticism of dogs leads to weight gain and changes in body chemistry. Cushing's disease or hyperadrenocorticism of dogs can occur due to misuse of corticosteroid medications. Cushing's disease or hyperadrenocorticism in dogs shortens lifespan. .ushi h High risk breeds for this disease include Silky Terriers, Bull Terriers, Boston Terriers and Yorkshire terriers, dachshunds, and standard, toy and miniature poodles. Female dogs are more susceptible to adrenal gland tumors. Dogs that develop the disease are generally older than five years. hyperadrenocorticism New Developments: A new drug, trilostane, appears to have great potential in treating Cushing's disease without some of the side effects caused by mitotane. Trilostane interferes with production of cortisol in the adrenal glands without destroying the cells in the adrenal cortex that produce cortisol. The drug is not currently available for general use in the United States. In England it is marketed by Arnolds Veterinary Products of Yorkshire under the name, Vetoryl. The company is attempting to gain FDA approval to market in the US.

When hyperadrenocorticism is due to neoplasm or prolonged excessive intake of glucocorticoids, the disorder is termed Cushing's syndrome; when it is caused by excessive pituitary secretion of adrenocorticotropin it is termed Cushing's disease. Frequently the patient exhibits moon face (increased fullness of the face and cheeks), buffalo hump (fatty deposition over the dorsal spine), abdominal and axillary purple striae, hirsutism, hypertension, bone tenderness, growth arrest, and short stature. Severe osteoporosis is common in Cushing's syndrome, especially prominent in the spine, which may reveal osteopenia , biconcave deformities of vertebral bodies ( fish vertebrae ), compression fractures , and exaggerated kyphosis . Osteoporosis also may occur in the skull and ribs, and involvement of the pelvis may be associated with protrusio acetabuli. Exuberant callus may develop after rib fractures.
