Steroid hepatopathy in a horse with glucocorticoid-induced hyperadrenocorticism.
Steroid hepatopathy was diagnosed in a horse with glucorticoid-induced hyperadrenocorticism on the basis of anamnesis, serum biochemical data, and histologic findings of hepatic biopsy. Initially, clinical signs of polyuria, polydypsia, and muscular degeneration were seen. The horse developed laminitis during hospitalization.
