Adrenal Nodules, calcification and hyperechoic pancreas

Hello,

This is my third simmilar case and I thought that I should see what experts are thinking….

This is a 8 years old F/S dachshund that presented with moderate increse Liver enzymes. No clinical signs of PU/PD or symptoms for  Pancreatitis. Both adrenal glands are enlarged, with “nodules”  at the caudal pole and calcification/ s. Right limb of the pancreas is hyperechoic .

My questions :

1. Calcifications in the Adrenal gland are not suspicious of neoplasia, right?

My questions :

2. If this dog doesn’t have symptoms of Cushings then I shouldn’t treat only monitor ( No Pu/PD USG 1.035)?

3.Is there any correlation between cushings disease and Hyperechic pancreas ( possible chronic pancreatitis) in dogs that are not currently diabetic or showing symptoms of pancreatitis; incidental finding ?
