Quantitative Cortisol Results for Adrenal Health Assessment
Go beyond clinical signs. Our quantitative Cortisol test provides the precise measurements needed for diagnosing, differentiating, and monitoring Cushing's and Addison's disease.

Assessing adrenal function is crucial for diagnosing and managing common endocrine disorders in dogs. The Tashikin Cortisol Test provides rapid, quantitative results from serum or plasma, enabling veterinarians to perform critical dynamic tests like ACTH stimulation and Low-Dose Dexamethasone Suppression (LDDS) in-clinic. This facilitates confident diagnosis of hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease) and hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease).
Your Path to Endocrine Clarity:
Test for Cushing's
Use in ACTH stimulation or LDDS tests for dogs showing signs like PU/PD, alopecia, and pot-belly.
Diagnose Addison's
Measure baseline cortisol and perform an ACTH stimulation test in dogs presenting with vague illness or collapse.
Monitor Treatment
Objectively monitor the effectiveness of treatment for both Cushing's and Addison's disease.

Prepare Sample
Prepare canine serum or plasma from a whole blood sample according to your dynamic test protocol (e.g., pre/post ACTH).
Add Sample
Using a micropipette, add exactly 75µL of the serum or plasma into the sample well of the test cassette.
Add Buffer
Add 2 drops of the provided assay buffer into the same well and start the timer immediately.
Read Result
At 10 minutes, insert the cassette into the Tashikin FIA Analyzer to obtain the quantitative Cortisol result.
Visualize and Track Endocrine Responses
Dynamic endocrine testing generates critical data points. By plotting baseline, stimulation, and suppression results in VetEx.ai, you create a clear, visual record of the patient’s adrenal response. This simplifies interpretation, enhances client communication, and ensures precise treatment adjustments over time.
