Presentation Description / Summary:

Routine measurement of serum triglycerides in serum biochemistry panels can assist clinicians to detect canine hypercortisolism. The history of canine lipid disorders will be explored with a discussion of the impact of lack of routine measurement of serum triglycerides in dogs on diagnosis (and potentially treatment) of canine Cushing’s syndrome. The role of adrenal function testing in dogs with hypertriglyceridemia with potential sub-clinical hypercortisolism will also be presented. Attendees will also learn the importance of tight control of Cushing’s to resolve hypertriglyceridemia in this disease.



Learner Outcomes:

  1. Upon completion, participants will be able to list the reasons why routine measurement of serum triglyceride measurement is useful in the detection of canine Cushing’s syndrome.

  2. Upon completion, participants will understand the role of adrenal function tests in the investigation of hypertriglyceridemic dogs.

  3. Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the impact of effective treatment of Cushing’s syndrome on hypertriglyceridemia.

Learning Objectives:

  • 1. Upon completion, participants will be able to list the reasons why routine measurement of serum triglyceride measurement is useful in the detection of canine Cushing’s syndrome.
  • 2. Upon completion, participants will understand the role of adrenal function tests in the investigation of hypertriglyceridemic dogs.
  • 3. Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the impact of effective treatment of Cushing’s syndrome on hypertriglyceridemia.
