Hyperadrenocorticism is a relatively common endocrine disorder in dogs that has been extensively described. However, its diagnosis remains challenging because there is no true reference standard test, and a myriad factors can affect the diagnostic performance of the commonly used adrenal function tests. Ultimately, the diagnosis is based on a combination of signalment, history and clinical findings, and a variety of diagnostic test results. The second part of this review aims to appraise available data on diagnostic performance of adrenal function tests in naturally occurring canine hyperadrenocorticism.
库兴氏病(hyperadrenocorticism)是一种相对常见的犬类内分泌紊乱疾病,已有广泛描述。然而,其诊断仍然具有挑战性,因为没有真正的参考标准测试,并且有无数因素会影响常用肾上腺功能测试的诊断性能。最终,诊断基于品种、病史和临床发现以及各种诊断测试结果的组合。本综述的第二部分旨在评估已有的关于自然发生的犬库兴氏病的肾上腺功能测试的诊断性能的数据。
