Hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) is a rare condition in the cat. The paucity of true clinical cases means that there are few studies of diagnostic accuracy for the different screening tests. Unlike the situation in the dog, there is no reliable information on diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. In its absence, recommendations have been derived from studies in healthy cats and extrapolated from the dog and no clear consensus exists as to which of the tests is most reliable.
