The low-dose dexamethasone suppression (LDDS) test is considered extremely sensitive for hyperadrenocorticism. In approximately 95% of dogs with PDH and up to 100% of dogs with AT, cortisol suppression is inadequate.

Screening and diagnostic tests for hyperadrenocorticism include the urine cortisol:creatinine ratio, the ACTH stimulation test, and the low-dose dexamethasone suppression test (LDDST). Treatment options include medical treatment, radiation, and surgery.
9 lut 2024 · There are three main tests available: urine cortisol:creatinine ratio (UCCR), the ACTH stimulation test and the low-dose dexamethasone suppression test (LDDST). Appropriate pre-diagnostic screening for Cushing’s syndrome can ensure high prevalence in tested populations, increasing test accuracy
Understanding the HRD result. The HRD test result will either show a positive or negative HRD status. A positive status is defined as either the presence of a BRCA mutation or a high genomic instability score.
To help support the diagnosis all dogs should undergo clinicopathological testing, including haematology, serum biochemistry, urinalysis and specific endocrine testing. Animals diagnosed with HAC should also have abdominal ultrasonography performed alongside assessment of endogenous ACTH to help differentiate PDH from ADH.
These common blood tests allow veterinarians to assess your pet’s overall health. Blood tests are often recommended in healthy pets, in pets about to undergo anesthesia and in sick pets. Interpretation of multiple tests in conjunction with one another (profiling) allows quick and noninvasive assessment of the major organ systems of the body.
