Canine hypoadrenocorticism, or Addison’s disease, results from adrenocortical hormone insufficiency. An overall low disease prevalence combined with vague clinical signs and nonspecific clinicopathologic abnormalities makes diagnosis challenging.
Hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s disease) has been referred to as “the great pretender,” due to its ability to mimic other common diseases in the dog and thereby represent a diagnostic challenge. Naturally occurring hypoadrenocorticism is an uncommon canine disease.
CAUSE. Hypoadrenocorticism is most commonly caused by primary adrenocortical failure involving all three layers of the adrenal cortex (i.e., zona glomerulosa, zona fas-ciculata, zona reticularis).
