Treatment Introduction: Often called simply " Cushing's Syndrome ", hyperadrenocorticism describes the clinical signs referable to the excessive levels of serum glucocorticoids produced by the adrenal gland Cushing's Disease is a subset of Cushing's Syndrome whereby the excessive production of glucocorticoids by the adrenal gland(s) is specifically due to excessive production of ACTH by the pituitary gland. This is known as Pituitary-Dependent Hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) Autonomous unregulated synthesis of glucocorticoids by the adrenal gland is known as Adrenal-Dependent Hyperadrenocorticism (ADH) The first appreciation for the connection of certain pituitary abnormalities and stomach ulcers (secondary to excessive circulating corticosteroids) was by a fascinating genius and neurosurgeon, Dr. Harvey Cushing (see above

    Extractions: Cushing's Disease Cushing's Disease occurs most commonly in the dog, but is sometimes seen in the cat and ferret as well. The disease is characterized by an excess of a hormone known as cortisol which is produced by the adrenal glands. These paired glands in the dog and cat, are located just above each kidney. The cortisol hormone produced by the adrenal glands is more commonly referred to as adrenaline. This hormone assists all mammals in times of stress, and is sometimes called the "fight or flight" hormone. When in excess, cortisol can cause serious problems. The cortisol produced by the adrenal glands, is under control by another gland located in the base of the brain, called the pituitary gland. This gland is also known as the "master" gland of the body, controlling the production of many hormones such as thyroxin or thyroid hormone as well. Tumors in either the pituitary gland, or the adrenal gland, will ultimately cause the syndrome known as Cushing's disease. When a tumor develops in the pituitary gland, the resultant condition of Cushing's disease is referred to as secondary Cushing's syndrome or pituitary dependant hyperadrenocorticism (PDH). This is the most common form of the disease, occurring in approximately 80% of the patients diagnosed with Cushing's disease.

    http://www.medhelp.org/www/nadf4.htm
    
    Extractions: Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, Cornell University Medical College Cushing's Syndrome is a disease caused by an excess of cortisol production or by excessive use of cortisol or other similar steroid (glucocorticoid) hormones. Cortisol is a normal hormone produced in the outer portion, or cortex, of the adrenal glands, located above each kidney. The normal function of cortisol is to help the body respond to stress and change. It mobilizes nutrients, modifies the body's response to inflammation, stimulates the liver to raise the blood sugar, and it helps control the amount of water in the body. Another adrenal cortex hormone, aldosterone, regulates salt and water levels which affects blood volume and blood pressure. Small amounts of androgens (male hormones) are also normally produced in the adrenal cortex. Cortisol production is regulated by adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), made in the pituitary gland, which is located just below the brain. When too much cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands, or an excess is taken in treating other diseases, significant changes occur in all of the tissues and organs of the body. All of these effects together are called Cushing's Syndrome.

    Extractions: Medstudents' Homepage Cushing’s Syndrome may be defined as a persistent and continuous state of endogenous cortisol overproduction, not being in accordance with ordinary circadian rhythm patterns (It was first fully clinically described by Harvey Cushing in 1912 .). As a consequence, it leads to various symptoms and signs, namely: Obesity (90%)* * The main Cushing’s obesity feature is centripetal, but generalized obesity can occur - often to children. Apart from that, the finding of violet estriae, associated or not with the above characteristics, raises the suspicious of the syndrome. Also, it must be stressed out that the term "Cushing’s Disease" is a specific type of Cushing’s Syndrome whose ethiology is Pituitary Adenoma ACTH producer (generally it is due to microadenoma). The other types of Cushing Syndrome are classified according to the following: a) ACTH dependent Macro and Microadenoma ACTH producing Pituitary;

    Extractions: Guestbook Neurosurgery Home ... Links Cushing's syndrome, with its high morbidity and mortality, requires a diagnostic workup which includes verifying the patient's cortisol excess, then documenting the site of hormone overproduction. ACTH-dependent causes include pituitary tumors (Cushings disease) and ectopic ACTH-secreting (or rarely CRH-secreting) tumors, while ACTH-independcnt Cushing's is due to a primary adrenal lesion(Figure 1).

    Extractions: PITUITARY CUSHING’S SYNDROME There are three treatments commonly used in the management of pituitary dependent Cushing’s disease: Lysodren (also called Mitotane or o,p’-DDD), Nizoral (also called Ketoconazole) and Anipryl (also called L-Deprenyl, Eldepryl or Selegiline). These medications are associated with different side effects potential and expense and any of them can be expected to produce good results in a confirmed case of pituitary Cushing’s disease. LYSODREN: THE TRADITIONAL THERAPY Lysodren (generically known as “mitotane” and chemically known as “o,p’-DDD”) has been the only treatment for pituitary dependent Cushing’s disease until relatively recently. It is convenient to use and relatively inexpensive, though it does have the potential for very serious side effects. Because this medication has been in use for canine Cushing’s disease for decades, most veterinarians have extensive experience with its use and with the monitoring tests needed to prevent side effect difficulties. One of the disadvantages of lysodren therapy is the need for regular monitoring blood tests. HOW THIS MEDICATION WORKS HOW THIS MEDICATION IS USED There are two phases to the treatment of Cushing’s disease with Lysodren: an induction phase to gain control of the disease and a lower dose maintenance phase which ideally lasts for the animal’s entire life.

    Extractions: Cushing's Disease (hyperadrenocorticism) is a common condition in older dogs, often mistaken for the aging process itself. Dogs gain weight, lose hair, urinate in the house, and make owners begin to prematurely consider euthanasia. Yet Cushing's disease is treatable and that treatment can result in a longer, more comfortable life for the dog and its owner. Thus, it is important for the regular pet owner to learn the basic facts about Cushing's disease. In health: In Cushing's Disease: The feedback loop has gone awry in Cushing's disease for one of three reasons: a pituitary tumor, an adrenal tumor, or veterinary interference. The result is a chronic excess of blood cortisol. In effect, the dog is being poisoned with too much cortisol and cannot rely on its own feedback mechanism to regulate the blood cortisol level. Pituitary Dependant Hyperadrenocorticism: The most common cause of Cushing's disease is a microscopic, benign pituitary tumor (microadenoma) which oversecretes ACTH and ignores the adrenals' response. 50% of pituitary tumors are less than 3mm in diameter. The dog's pituitary keeps cranking out ACTH, causing the adrenals to keep cranking out cortisol, yet the pituitary does not respond to the elevated blood cortisol levels by stopping its release of ACTH. 85% of Cushing's cases are pituitary dependent. Dogs with pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism tend to have two very large adrenal glands, as both are constantly working to keep up production of excess cortisol.
