- The study assessed the protective effects of pentoxifylline, lovastatin, and chlorpromazine against kidney damage caused by ischemia and reperfusion in animals.
- A total of 36 male animals were divided into four groups, with one group receiving no treatment and the others treated with one of the three substances.
- Results showed that while chlorpromazine was effective in the short term, pentoxifylline was the most effective overall in preserving kidney structure, with all three treatments ultimately demonstrating effectiveness.
Trilostane is the current treatment of choice for managing pituitary-dependent hypercortisolism (PDH) in dogs. While prescribing higher initial doses may elevate the risk of iatrogenic hypocortisolism, opting for more conservative approach could result in delayed disease control, since most individuals end up requiring dosage increases. The adrenocorticotrophin stimulation test (ACTHst), a widely recognized hormonal test for assessing adrenal function, is an essential tool for monitoring the pharmacological treatment of canine hypercortisolism (CH) that can also be used for diagnostic purposes.
