Hypoadrenocorticism?


 

  • Retriever, female, neutralized, 6 years
  • Intermittent vomiting, apathy, hemogram ok , had an episode of acute renal disease two weeks ago (high creatinine and urea) and hyperechoic cortical, but a good corticomedular relationship and differentiation, progressive slimming (-5 kg in one month)
  • Urea, creatinine and normal renal echogenicity today
  • Without another sonographic changes
  • Adrenals with reduced size (for a 32 kg dog) and possible loss of the cortical region?
