Relationship between cholestatic disease and pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs

Hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) is a common endocrine disease of dogs and is classi fied as pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH), adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (ADH), or iatrogenic, depending on the cause of the excessive cortisol. Hyperadrenocorticism is characterized by variable clinical signs, and several medical complications may develop secondary to prolong ed excess of cortisol. Trilostane is a drug that is now used worldwide in dogs with HAC since its development as a veterinary product in 1998.
