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.

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.
Normal adrenal gland width (at the caudal pole) is 3 to 5 mm, although it is not unusual to find 7-mm adrenals in large dogs with nonadrenal illness. 10 Bilateral, symmetric adrenomegaly indicates PDH in a dog with a positive result on a confirmatory test for HAC.
1 sie 2022 · In this study, we report our first experience with in-house HRD testing, using the HRD Focus panel (AmoyDx), which evaluates both BRCA1/2 status and genomic instability.
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

UNDERSTAND. Hyperadrenocorticism (HAC, Cushing’s syndrome) describes the clinical manifestation of chronic exposure to excess levels of glucocorticoids, primarily cortisol. It is relatively common in older dogs, increasingly recognized in cats, and rare in other domestic animals.
