title: Concurrent illness and complications associated with canine hyperadrenocorticism.
abstract: Complications associated with canine HAC include thromboembolism, infection, diabetic mellitus, pancreatitis, or growing pituitary tumor. The serious consequences of the multisystemic effects of cortisol excess show the need for careful examination and monitoring of animal patients with HAC so that the many associated complications may be recognized, treated, and in some cases prevented.
