When the Hypos make you Hyper - Hypoadrenocorticism for Nurses

When the Hypos make you Hyper - Hypoadrenocorticism for Nurses
When the Hypos make you Hyper - Hypoadrenocorticism for Nurses

You may see patients with hypoadrenocorticism, but are you comfortable with all of the ins and outs of this disease? This lecture discusses hypoadrenocorticism including common breeds, the effects of the disease, and the specific laboratory changes that occur in a crisis. These emergent patients will be covered in detail so that veterinary technicians and nurses can recognize a potential crisis in bloodwork results, know how to quickly respond to these patients, and understand treatment strategies.

The Australian Veterinary Nurse and Technician (AVNAT) Regulatory Council has allocated (1) AVNAT CPD point to this continuing education activity.

Hyperadrenocorticism: What you already knew (and didn’t)

Hyperadrenocorticism is one of the most common endocrinopathies seen in clinical practice. However not every patient presents the same way and behaves in a typical manner, as is sometimes described in textbooks and in reading material! The objective of this webinar is to provide an overview of hyperadrenocorticism, pathophysiology and current recommendations in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Participants will hopefully gain a better understanding of the disease and will gain confidence in diagnosing and treating these patients.
