Popis: In 20 healthy experimental dogs the 24 hour urinary corticoid excretion as measured by Cortisol radioimmunoassay on two consecutive days varied from 0·5 to 3·3 nmol/kg/24 hours and from 0·3 to 3·6 nmol/kg/24 hours. In 20 dogs with otherwise proven spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism these values varied from 4·4 to 35·7 nmol/kg/24 hours and from 3·6 to 26·8 nmol/kg/24 hours respectively. Corti-coid/creatinine ratios in morning urine samples of 28 healthy pet dogs were of 1·2 to 6·9×106. In 27 dogs with spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism all ratios exceeded the range observed in the healthy pet dogs.
