Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Went to the Neph yesterday and he will re-run my Aldo/renin ratio Friday morning at 8am. He did not seem very concerned about my potassium or my symptoms of low potassium. that irked me a little bit. He was mainly focused on the aldo/renin ratio, and explained the long term problems of whats going on with me all the different methods there are to treat me. I am very pleased about how proactive he is about correcting whats causing my crazy/uncontrollable high BP. I do have a questions.... He seemed a bit floored how high my last ratio came out.... 107.1.... I was thinking its high, but i've seen higher online so it was typical. He wants me to re-run the the test at 8am since my last blood work was done at 10am. What kind of difference is that going to make? will the ratio be considerably lower earlier in the morning? I was also on Diovan at the time of the first testing as well. I know that effects the test.... Does it effect it by a large margin? Thank you, these are questions I should have asked him, but you never think of these things until later 38yrs Renin .14 (.25-5.89) Aldo Ratio PRA 107.1 (.9-28.9) CT scan normal, as of now.....
