The urine cortisol:creatinine ratio normalizes the cortisol level to urine concentration. A value below 30 rules out Cushing's disease with high certainty. This is an excellent screening test.
A very low UCCR is normal and effectively rules out Cushing's disease. However, if your dog has signs of Addison's disease, this test alone is not diagnostic.
No Cushing's concern. If your dog has Addison's-like symptoms, the ACTH stimulation test is the appropriate diagnostic test.
Canine UCCR: 2 x10⁻⁶ (Low)The urine cortisol:creatinine ratio normalizes the cortisol level to urine concentration. A value below 30 rules out Cushing's disease with high certainty. This is an excellent screening test.
No action needed. Cushing's disease is very unlikely based on this result.
Canine UCCR: 15 x10⁻⁶An elevated UCCR is very sensitive for Cushing's disease (over 90%), but it can also be falsely elevated by stress, illness, or hospitalization. A positive result requires confirmation with an ACTH stimulation test or LDDST before starting treatment.
Do NOT start Cushing's treatment based solely on UCCR. Schedule an ACTH stimulation test or LDDST for confirmation. Collect the sample at home (in a familiar environment) to minimize stress artifact.
