Extractions: ADDISONS DISEASE SUMMARY; Addisons Disease is a hypofunction of the Adrenal Glands in the body. My EAV work has revealed this disturbance in adult dogs occurs on both the physical organ level as well as the electromagnetic energy fields of the Adrenal Glands and other related structures. Successful treatment requires balancing and strengthening both levels. Medical Definition of Addisons Disease: Hypofunction of the adrenal glands producing a disease characterized by a bronzelike pigmentation of the skin, severe prostration, progressive anemia, low blood pressure, diarrhea and digestive disturbances; it is usually fatal. PHYSICAL LEVEL: Clinical findings in dogs with adrenal insufficiency are often quite similar to acute renal disorders, gastrointestinal diseases and must be differentiated. Addisons Disease (A.D.) is most commonly seen in dogs less than 5 years of age but as early as 12 weeks of age. The usual clinical signs are progressive muscular weakness, depression, inappetence and vomiting. The most common lesion is atrophy of the adrenal cortex, with evidence suggesting

http://www.medhelp.org/nadf/nadf3.htm

Extractions: Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, Cornell University Medical College Addison's disease is a severe or total deficiency of the hormones made in the adrenal cortex, caused by a destruction of the adrenal cortex. There are normally two adrenal glands, located above each kidney. The adrenal glands are really two endocrine ( ductless or hormone producing ) glands in one. The inner part of the adrenal ( called the medulla ) produces epinephrine ( also called adrenaline ) which is produced at times of stress and helps the body respond to "fight or flight" situations by raising the pulse rate, adjusting blood flow, and raising blood sugar. However, the absence of the adrenal medulla and epinephrine does not cause disease. When Dr. Thomas Addison's' first described this disease in London in 1855, the most common cause was tuberculosis. This remained the leading cause until the middle of the twentieth century when antibiotics progressively reduced TB's incidence. Since then, the major cause of Addison's disease results from an auto-immune reaction in which the body's immune system erroneously makes antibodies against the cells of the adrenal cortex and slowly destroys them. That process takes months to years. There are also several less common causes of Addison's disease: other chronic infections besides tuberculosis, especially certain fungal infections, invasion of the adrenal by cancer cells that have spread from another part of the body, especially the breast; CMV virus in association with AIDS; rarely, hemorrhage into the adrenals during shock; and the surgical removal of both adrenals.

Extractions: Addison's disease is a rare endocrine or hormonal disorder that affects about 1 in 100,000 people. It occurs in all age groups and afflicts men and women equally. 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;

Extractions: Lack of energy, vomiting and weight loss in dogs may be symptoms of a number of common disorders; however, they can also be early signs of a relatively rare disorder called Canine Addison's Disease (hypoadrenocorticism). Because it is so easily confused with many other diseases and frequently remains undiagnosed until the dog collapses from weight loss, weakness or dehydration, Canine Addison's Disease is often referred to as The Great Pretender. If left untreated, the disease can be critical, even fatal. Canine Addison's Disease occurs when a dog's adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones and other chemicals that help regulate many bodily functions, such as metabolism, blood pressure and stress response. While it is not contagious, it is not fully understood why dogs develop Addison's. The most likely cause is genetic; however, other possible causes include infections, immune system disorders and trauma. Studies have found that 70% to 85% of dogs with Canine Addison's Disease are female and that the dogs most often affected are between 4 and 7 years old. Some breeds seem to be affected more commonly than others. These breeds include Great Danes, Portuguese Water Spaniels, Rottweilers, Standard Poodles, West Highland White Terriers and Wheaten Terriers.

Extractions: Addison's Disease General Information: The adrenal gland is so named because it is located just forward of the kidney ("renal" means kidney). The center of the gland is called the "medulla" and the outer area is called the "cortex." While both areas produce hormones, Addison's disease concerns the hormones produced by the cortex; these hormones are called "corticosteroids." Corticosteroids are the hormones that enable us to adapt physiologically to stress. The "Glucocorticoids" (such as cortisol and related synthetics, prednisone and dexamethasone) act on the mechanics of sugar, fat, and protein metabolism. They gear the metabolism towards the preparation of burning (rather than storing) fuels so as the be ready for a "fight or flight" situation. The "Mineralocorticoids" (such as aldosterone and related synthetic fludrocortisone acetate) influence the electrolytes: sodium and potassium. As a general biological rule, where there's sodium or salt, there's water. When the mineralocorticoids circulate as part of the "fight or flight" preparation, sodium is conserved in anticipation of blood loss so that there will be extra fluid in the vascular compartment (spare blood). When sodium is conserved, potassium is lost as part of the biological balance. This whole picture of fat mobilization, sodium conservation etc. which is part of the "fight or flight" preparation is far more complex than can be reviewed here but the bottom line is:

Extractions: By Michelle Hargreaves Eddie's story it could save your dog's life, especially if he is a young Standard Poodle. Eddie died aged 2 years and 10 months. He was a slim athletic Standard Poodle. Apart from his ear infections he showed no visible health problems prior to the symptoms which manifested in the few days leading up to his death. In November 2001 Eddie had a 1 and 1/2 hour operation to remove part of his outer ear, under the floppy outer ears. This was required to erradicate the cycle of gluey ear infections enhanced by his narrow ear canals. The operation was a great success in every aspect and there weren't any complications whilst Eddie was under anaesthetic, which is always a great worry of mine. On 12th February 2002, I arrived home from work and my husband advised me that Eddie had been shaking nervously and would not eat his tea. I was a little concerned as he had not eaten his breakfast either. There had been fireworks outside also that evening so I put the shaking down to that. Eddie had become a 'more' nervous dog recently. We put that down to the fact his ears no longer caused him problems, and the fact his hearing would be more acute.
