The endocrine system regulates growth, metabolism, food use, among others. Disturbances of the endocrine system are known as endocrine disorder or endocrinopathy. The objective of the study was to determine the clinical and demographic characteristics of canine patients diagnosed with endocrine disease treated at the Cayetano Heredia Teaching Veterinary Clinic during the period 2012-2018. For this, all medical records of the stipulated period were reviewed and the records that had a definitive diagnosis and complete and legible demographic information were included. Information was collected on demographic variables, clinical signs, weight, reason for consultation, results of complementary diagnostic tests, treatment, and definitive diagnosis. The information was summarized using descriptive statistics. 16,440 medical records were reviewed, among which 35 patients with a definitive diagnosis of endocrine disease were found: 25 with Diabetes Mellitus (71.4%), five with Hypothyroidism (14.3%), three with Hypoadrenocorticism (8.6%), one with Hyperadrenocorticism (2.9%) and a patient with two concomitant diseases (Hypoadrenocorticism and Hypothyroidism) (2.9%). Among the patients with Diabetes Mellitus, 80% were female, 56% mixed race, 64% from the northern Lima district, and an average age of 8.64 years, with sex and age being significantly influential in the presentation of cases. The clinical signs that prevailed in patients with Diabetes Mellitus were polydipsia (80%), polyuria (80%), polyphagia (32%), and weight loss (72%). There was no hematological alteration in the red series, but there was in the white series (54.2%). Serum glucose had an average of 364.04 mg/dL, 96% presented glycosuria and 56% ketonuria. The results obtained will be useful as a basis for future studies in the area of endocrinology, as well as for exploring new studies regarding the relationship between hematological findings in patients with endocrinopathies and their possible diagnosis prior to a major complication of the condition.
