A 6-year-old, castrated male Siamese cat was diagnosed with primary hypoadrenocorticism, confirmed by an adrenocorticotopic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test documenting both hypocortisolism and hypoaldosteronism. The cat was successfully treated using a combination of prednisolone and desoxycorticosterone pivalate (DOCP). This case demonstrates that DOCP can be used successfully as mineralocorticoid supplementation in cats with hypoadrenocorticism and may have a longer therapeutic duration than that in dogs.
一只6岁去势雄性暹罗猫被诊断为原发性肾上腺皮质功能减退,促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)刺激试验证实存在皮质醇减少症和醛固酮减少症。该猫使用泼尼松龙和特戊酸脱氧皮质酮(DOCP)联合治疗成功。本病例表明,DOCP可成功用于肾上腺皮质功能减退猫的盐皮质激素补充,且治疗持续时间可能比犬更长。
