title: Adrenal disorders in cats.
abstract: Although adrenal disorders are uncommon in cats, they are being recognized with increasing frequency. The low incidence and unique characteristics of adrenal disease in cats often make the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders challenging. This article summarizes information on the diagnosis and treatment of feline adrenal disorders, including hyperadrenocorticism, hypoadrenocorticism, pheochromocytoma, and hyperaldosteronism.
