Getting the balance back Addison's disease is a rare condition that is estimated to affect around one in 40,000 people. However, it's an important condition to look out for since when treated appropriately a person with Addison's can live a full and long life. If missed though, it may have tragic consequences. Caps on the kidneys The adrenal glands are very important manufacturers of different hormones. These help to control blood pressure and salt and water balance, and help our immune system fight off infection and deal with stress and illness. There are two adrenal glands, and each one sits like a cap on top of the kidney. The inner part of the gland secretes adrenalin and noradrenaline. The outer part of the adrenal gland is made up of three zones that secrete a group of hormones collectively called corticosteroids or the adrenal hormones. These are: Aldosterone - this regulates salt and water loss through the kidneys and so helps control blood pressure.

4486 Pearl Avenue at Branham Lane San Jose, CA 95136 Addison's Disease - Case 2 (Hypoadrenocorticism) "Sarah Elizabeth" a 3 1/2 year old female Labrador Retreiver was presented with symptoms of vomiting, lethargy, and loss of appetitite of 3 days duration. On physical examination, Sarah Elizabeth was found to be quite depressed and dehydrated, otherwise in good physical condition. A plan was made to draw blood samples for routine laboratory evaluation, but difficulty was met obtaining blood due to partial collapse of her circulatory system. An intravenous catheter was placed immediately and intravenous fluid therapy initiated as well as systemic antibiotics. By the time the blood results were back the following morning, Sarah Elizabeth's condition had improved tremendously. This in itself was highly suspicious of the hypovolemia and collapse characteristic of hypoadrenocorticism or Addisons's Disease. Laboratory results were consistent with Addison's disease. Blood results: BUN (Blood urea nitrogen) 81 mg/dl (normal = 7-27 mg/dl) Creatinine 2.1 mg/dl (normal = 0.4-1.8 mg/dl)

Job Accommodation Network's Searchable Online Accommodation Resource (SOAR) Accommodation Ideas Addison's Disease http://www.medhelp.org/nadf/nadf3.htm Accommodation ideas for individuals with Addison's Disease may include: Managing Fatigue: An individual with Addison's Disease may benefit from a flexible work schedule, liberal use of leave time, being allowed to work from home, a reduction or elimination of physical exertion and workplace stress, scheduled rest breaks away from the workstation, and ergonomic workstation design Controlling Weight: Because of salt loss, a craving for salty foods is common. Easy access to snacks and a refrigerator may help. Working in a Cold Environment: Specially designed clothing, individual space heaters, and controlled thermostats can reduce the effects of working in a cold environment. Allowing work from home during extremely hot or cold weather, maintenance of the ventilation system, and redirecting air conditioning and heating vents may also help. Difficulty Standing and Walking due to Blood Pressure Loss: A wheelchair or scooter may accommodate these limitations when moving around a workplace.

68. Adisdis Addison s disease by Nancy Kay, DVM, ACVIM. Addison s disease is defined asa substantial decrease in the production of cortisone and aldosterone. http://www.inkabijou.co.uk/addisons.htm

Addison's Disease by Nancy Kay, DVM, ACVIM Addison's disease was first described as a human affliction in 1855 by Dr. Thomas Addison (even back then, medical doctors could be rather egocentric!). The more scientific name for this disease is hypoadrenocorticism which refers to an insufficient production of certain essential hormones by the adrenal glands. Let the physiology lesson Addison's disease can occur in any breed of dog . A familial or inherited predisposition for the disease has been described in Standard Poodles, Labrador retrievers, and Portuguese water dogs. (You're no alone out there!) The cause of Addison's disease is incompletely understood, however, an immune mediated etiology is suspect. What this means is that the individual's own immune system is somehow triggered to attack and destroy its own body's normal tissues; in this case certain hormone-producing cells within the adrenal glands are destroyed. The disease is most common in middle aged female dogs as is the case for most autoimmune disorders. Most dogs with Addison's disease initially have rather vague waxing and waning symptoms including a decrease in appetite, increased thirst, some vomiting and/or diarrhea, lethargy, and weight loss. In my own experience with Addisonian Standard Poodles, bloody diarrhea and muscle spasms may also be part of the history.

Message Boards Addison's Disease is also known as Adrenal Insufficiency Adrenal insufficiency is a life threatening chronic illness. An active and vigorous lifestyle with normal life expectancy is possible as long as the prescribed medications are taken regularly and adjusted when indicated. As with most chronic diseases, adrenal insufficiency demands that the patients take responsibility and develop self-management skills and techniques. The following guidelines and general advice should help you in this endeavor. You should obtain and always wear a medical alert bracelet or tag and carry an emergency identification card. These items should identify your underlying diagnosis of the fact that you have adrenal insufficiency. The name and telephone number for both your primary physician and endocrinologist should be listed on the emergency medical identification card. Adrenal insufficiency is treated with glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids.

Blood work may indicate: anemia, electrolyte imbalances (i.e., elevated potassium, low sodium, and low chloride), low blood sugar, elevated calcium, acidosis, and elevation of liver and kidney values. These animals have the classic signs of shock: mental dullness, pale mucous membranes, weak pulses, and cold extremities. In addition, they have an abnormally slow heart rate due to elevated blood potassium levels. MECHANISMS AND CAUSATION The adrenal glands are paired endocrine (hormone producing) organs that sit near the tops of the kidneys. They are made up of two layers, an outer cortex and an inner medulla, that are structurally and functionally distinct. The cortex produces three types of hormone: mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens, which are collectively known as steroids.

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. 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. 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. Among its other vital tasks, cortisol: helps maintain blood pressure and cardiovascular function;

73. PWDCA - Addison's Disease Committee Name Addison s disease. Chair Karen Miller. Health ConditionAddison’s disease is caused when the adrenal glands deteriorate. http://www.pwdca.org/New_Health/addisons.htm

Committee Name: Addison's Disease Chair: Karen Miller Members: Dr. Karen Kelly, Dr. Deborah Ramsey, Leslie McCracken Health Condition: Addison’s disease is caused when the adrenal glands deteriorate. These small hormone producing glands are located above each kidney and are important for controlling the metabolism of sugar and maintaining the salt and water balances in the body. As the adrenal glands cease to produce vital hormones, physical and behavioral symptoms develop, sometimes in an inconsistent manner, so an owner might observe one or any combination of signs: Depression, lethargy or weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and/or a lack of interest in food, which is always a telltale sign that something is wrong in a Portuguese Water Dog. Why the PWDCA is addressing this: Addison ’s is an inherited disease in Portuguese Water Dogs and should be ruled out as early as possible when a dog is ill. Diagnosis can be extremely difficult unless a veterinarian is aware of the tendency to Addison ’s in the breed. The good news is that

Return to Health and Welfare section ADDISON'S DISEASE IN GREAT DANES: The GDCA is seeking Great Dane families where at least one member has been diagnosed by a veterinarian with Addison's disease for a potential research project into the genetics and heritability of the disease in this breed. A minimal population of 50 affected dogs (i.e. Danes with Addison's) is necessary. A population of related dogs with known health status will be required to complete the study so each volunteer needs to be able to offer some close relatives into the study. Ideally each Addison's Dane should be able to also provide the health status of approximately 5 close family members (i.e. parents, siblings, offspring).

Leonberger Club of America Health, Research, and Education Committee Home Contact Us Donate Download Our Forms ... Temperament Addison's Disease (Hypoadenocorticism) What is it? Addison's Disease is a hormonal disorder that results in a decreased production of glucocorticoids and mineral corticoids by the adrenal gland. These substances are responsible for a host of functions including metabolism, electrolyte and water balance, and the ability of the body to deal with stress. There is evidence that this disease runs in families in a number of breeds including Leonbergers. Preliminary studies at UC Davis have shown that Addison's Disease in the Leonberger is heritable and suggests that genes from both parents may be required. Symptoms: The onset of vague signs such as poor appetite with weight loss, vomiting and lethargy, chronic or recurrent diarrhea in adult dogs varying from age 2 to 6. These symptoms may not lead to an immediate diagnosis, which, in turn, can lead to an acute crisis and shock. This usually occurs after a stressful episode (such as anesthesia), and can be very severe and possibly fatal if not identified and treated immediately.

Back to Top General Addison's Disease Information Addison’s disease is a rare disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands are not able to produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol affects nearly every organ in the body and is important for normal bodily function; aldosterone helps the body retain salt and water. Addison’s disease is the most common cause of adrenal gland failure, which results in insufficient production of these important hormones in the body. Addison’s disease affects both males and females of all ages, including children. Back to Top Possible Causes of Addison's Disease Addison’s disease occurs when the body’s immune system destroys the part of the adrenal glands that produce cortisol and aldosterone. The adrenal glands can also be destroyed by other diseases (like tuberculosis, HIV infection, cancer and bacterial infection), some types of surgery, radiation treatments, bleeding in the adrenal glands due to blood-thinning medications and injury to the glands during late stages of pregnancy or during childbirth.
