Back Next PET DISEASE AND ALLERGIES: ADDISON'S DISEASE Background: Also called hypoadrenocorticism, Addison's disease is caused by the insufficient production of hormones by the adrenal gland. The adrenal glands produce corticosteroids, natural hormones essential for life. The disease occurs when the adrenal glands become compromised by infection, tumors or toxins. The disease may also be a secondary effect of the long-term use of corticosteroids, like prednisone. Clinical Signs: The most common clinical signs of Addison’s disease include vomiting, lethargy, muscle weakness, diarrhea, intermittent collapsing episodes, poor appetite and a decreased heart rate. More severe signs occur when a dog with hypoadrenocorticism is stressed or when the chemical profile of the blood becomes altered enough to interfere with heart function. Dogs with this problem will sometimes suffer severe shock symptoms when stressed, leading to a rapid death. Diagnosis: Diagnosis of Addison’s disease can be somewhat difficult, although dogs are often diagnosed based on changes in routine blood work. The sodium and potassium levels of the blood are indicators of Addison’s disease. Further blood tests, such as the ACTH stimulation test, which triggers corticosteroid production by the adrenal glands, can be used to confirm the presence of Addison’s disease.

Addison's disease (primary adrenocortical insufficiency) is a rare condition that develops when the adrenal glands , located above the kidneys, are not able to produce enough of the hormones cortisol and, less commonly, aldosterone. Cortisol affects almost every organ in the body and is important for normal body function. The adrenal glands release cortisol to help the body cope with stress from illness, injury, surgery, childbirth, or other reasons. Aldosterone helps the body retain salt and maintain blood pressure. Cortisol production by the adrenal glands is controlled by the brain's hypothalamus and in the pituitary gland below the brain. The hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland to produce adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) , which in turn stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. If the adrenal glands cannot produce enough cortisol, the condition is called primary adrenocortical insufficiency (hypocortisolism), or Addison's disease. When the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland is not working correctly to produce enough ACTH, the condition is called secondary adrenocortical insufficiency. This topic focuses on primary adrenocortical insufficiency.

LEARN FIND BLOG HOME ADDISON'S DISEASE Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and in some cases, the hormone aldosterone. For this reason, the disease is sometimes called chronic adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism. What is Addison's Disease? Addison's disease is a rare endocrine or hormonal disorder that affects about 1 in 100,000 people. It occurs in all age groups and afflicts men and women equally. The disease is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both exposed and nonexposed parts of the body. Cortisol is normally produced by the adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys. It belongs to a class of hormones called glucocorticoids, which affect almost every organ and tissue in the body. Scientists think that cortisol has possibly hundreds of effects in the body. Cortisol's most important job is to help the body respond to stress. Aldosterone belongs to a class of hormones called mineralocorticoids , also produced by the adrenal glands. It helps maintain blood pressure and water and salt balance in the body by helping the kidney retain sodium and excrete potassium. When aldosterone production falls too low, the kidneys are not able to regulate salt and water balance, causing blood volume and blood pressure to drop.

68. Addisons Disease What is Addison’s Disease? The correct medical term for this disease is Hypoadrenocorticism. This term means that there is diminished or lowered hormone http://www.alphapet.co.uk/html/addisons_disease.html

The correct medical term for this disease is Hypoadrenocorticism. This term means that there is diminished or lowered hormone production from the outer part or cortex of the adrenal gland. What are the adrenal glands? The adrenal glands are paired glands situated adjacent to the kidneys. Each gland essentially consists of an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The glands produce several vital substances which regulate a variety of body functions and are necessary to sustain life. The most widely known of these substances is cortisol, commonly called cortisone, produced by the outer part of the adrenal cortex. Also produced by the cortex and equally important is aldosterone which is a mineralocorticoid hormone. This hormone regulates the electrolyte and water balance of the body and is involved in the excretion of potassium and retention of sodium. What causes the disease? In the dog the main causes are usually the result of direct injury to the tissue due to haemorrhage, infection or certain auto immune conditions. Addisons disease can also occur if a dog has been treated with cortisone for any reason on a long term basis and this is suddenly withdrawn. Another cause can involve the pituitary gland in the brain.

About Production Post Production Design ... Addison's Disease What is Addison's Disease? Addison's Disease is the failure of the outer-cortex of the body's adrenal glands, leaving the sufferer extremely tired and drained of energy. If left untreated the condition can worsen leading on to heart attacks, strokes and death. It is a rare condition discovered by Thomas Addison in 1855, but it was left untreatable until steriod medication was developed in the 1940s. On July 28th, 2007 Simon Kotowicz was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. It took over five weeks to diagnose, leaving poor Kotowicz with little else to do but watch TV all day and attend the hospital two or three times a week for tests. After a short spell in hospital Kotowicz now takes his daily medication and is back on his feet, as full of life as he's ever been. We've featured a link to the UK registered charity The Addison's Disease Self Help Group's website to help spread awareness. The site also contains information that may prove useful in an emergency situation, in particular an Addisonian Crisis.

Home Healthy Living Health News Companies ... Drug Guide www Medical Health Home Encyclopedia A A B C D E ... Z Definition Addison's disease is a hormone deficiency caused by damage to the outer layer of the adrenal gland (adrenal cortex). Causes, incidence, and risk factors The adrenal glands are small hormone-secreting organs located on top of each kidney. They consist of the outer portion (called the cortex) and the inner portion (called the medulla). The cortex produces 3 types of hormones: sex hormones, glucocorticoid hormones, and mineralocorticoid hormones. The sex hormones, androgens (male) and estrogens (female) affect sexual development and reproduction. The glucocorticoid hormones (such as cortisol) maintain glucose (sugar) regulation, suppress the immune response, and help the body respond to stress. The mineralocorticoid hormones (such as aldosterone) regulate sodium and potassium balance. Addison's disease results from damage to the adrenal cortex, which causes decreased production of adrenocortical hormones. This damage may be caused by the following: The immune system mistakenly attacking the gland (autoimmune disease) Infections such as tuberculosis, HIV, or fungal infections
