Addison disease, also called hypoadrenocorticism, is caused by a deficiency of adrenal gland hormones. It is most common in young to middle-aged dogs. The cause is usually not known, but an autoimmune condition in which the body destroys some of its own tissue is likely.

1 Μαρ 2023 · Cushing’s disease is a condition that causes the adrenal glands to secrete too much of a hormone called cortisol. Excessive secretion of cortisol is most commonly caused by a small, slow growing, typically benign tumor in the pituitary gland, or more rarely, by an often malignant tumor in an adrenal gland.
14 Μαρ 2024 · Causes of Addison’s Disease in Dogs. In many cases, the cause of Addison’s disease in dogs is unknown. Veterinarians suspect that most of these cases result from an autoimmune process that can...
Cushing's disease (also known as Cushing’s syndrome) is a condition in which the adrenal glands overproduce certain hormones. The medical term for this disease is hyperadrenocorticism. Literally translated, “hyper” means over-active, “adreno” means adrenal gland, and “corticism” refers to the outer part (cortex) of the adrenal gland.
Addison’s disease in dogs is primarily caused by an immune–mediated destruction of adrenal tissue. Less commonly, the adrenal glands may be damaged by trauma, infection, or cancer. Addison’s disease can also occur following treatment of Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism), in which too much cortisol and aldosterone are produced.
14 Μαρ 2024 · Causes of Cushing’s Disease. Cushing’s disease is a naturally occurring syndrome, but it can also be caused by administering excessive amounts of prednisone or dexamethasone for prolonged...
Cushing disease occurs predominantly in middle-aged to older dogs (7–12 years old). Among dogs with naturally occurring hyperadrenocorticism, approximately 85% have pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH), and 15% have a cortisol-producing adrenal tumor (ie, adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism).
