  • Title: Urinary corticoids in the diagnosis of canine hyperadrenocorticism.
    Author: Stolp R, Rijnberk A, Meijer JC, Croughs RJ.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1983 Mar; 34(2):141-4. PubMed ID: 6856991.
    Abstract:
    In 20 healthy experimental dogs the 24 hour urinary corticoid excretion as measured by cortisol radioimmunoassay on two consecutive days varied from 0.5 to 3.3 nmol/kg/24 hours and from 0.3 to 3.6 nmol/kg/24 hours. In 20 dogs with otherwise proven spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism these values varied from 4.4 to 35.7 nmol/kg/24 hours and from 3.6 to 26.8 nmol/kg/24 hours respectively. Corticoid/creatinine ratios in morning urine samples of 28 healthy pet dogs were 1.2 to 6.9 X 10(-6). In 27 dogs with spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism all ratios exceeded the range observed in the healthy pet dogs.
