Can we predict hypoadrenocorticism in dogs with resting hypocortisolemia? A predictive model based on clinical, haematological, and biochemical variables
In dogs with resting hypocortisolemia, the combination of anorexia and lethargy, along with low sodium and albumin concentrations, should raise the suspicion of hypoadrenocorticism. The variables identified in this study may help clinicians to identify dogs with hypoadrenocorticism in daily clinical practice.
