From skin to within: Navigating concurrent endocrine and dermatological disease
19 Nov 2026
IDEXX Advanced Diagnostics Stream
Endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism and Cushing’s syndrome commonly present with dermatological signs, often mimicking or coexisting with primary skin disease. This session provides a practical approach to recognising when “skin disease” may reflect underlying endocrine dysfunction, and how to investigate and manage these patients effectively.
- Recognise key dermatological signs associated with hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism
- Differentiate primary dermatological disease from endocrine-driven skin changes
- Select appropriate diagnostic tests and interpret results in the context of concurrent disease
- Develop a structured approach to managing patients with coexisting endocrine and skin conditions
- Avoid common diagnostic and therapeutic pitfalls in these cases
