Cortisol testing is commonly used in veterinary practice for diagnosing and monitoring diseases, such as hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's Disease) and hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's Disease). Challenges are often due to the complexity of testing protocols, data interpretation, disease management and client communication.

In this lecture, we will review the principles for diagnosis and monitoring canine adrenal gland diseases, and how the new enhanced workflow can support better patient care.

  1. Review of cortisol testing and canine adrenal diseases
  2. Diagnosis and management of Cushing's Syndromes with Catalyst cortisol test
  3. Diagnosis of Hypoadrenocorticism with Catalyst cortisol test and principles of disease management
