's Lab Results (partial) responding to Francis Bill

[Guest guest]

After sleeping on it and having an hour on my way to WRJ VA (actually 40 minutes, I got the Mark VIII out of storage) I decided I was a little short with my answer last night. I ordered my labs back to 2005 (only 29 pages!) I'll report what you asked for here and even update my story if you can point me to where I find what needs to be reported. Hopefully this what you are looking for:

02/22/2007 RENIN 0.1L (ng/mL/hr 0.65 - 5.0 (Low-renin sodium/volume-medicated hypertension likely: <0.65; Primary aldosteronsim possible: <0.65)

07/08/2010RENIN 0.51L(same comments as above)

02/22/2007 15:53 ALDOS 5 (Upright 4:00 - 6:00 pm < or = 21??? not too sure if this is correct ref.)

07/08/2010 14:42 ALDOS 15(same as above)

Meds are listed in my story which is on file.

An interesting note, I just found my "Chemistry (Plasma)" section and noted NA and K. 21 entries dated back to 8/3/2005. NA ref=135-145. 8 were low 140's withthe rest 135-139. Last one listed, 6/7/2011 (4days after oral surgery) was 140 and Spiro was starting to be less effective! We actually increased it to 75MG! Think the Good Dr. is right and I was starting to out salt it? GO FIGURE!

K ref=3.5 - 5 again 21 entries dating back to 2005 Every test (12) prior to 10/15/2009was less than 4.0 with 4 less than minimum. Since then all are above 4.0 with 1 at 5.0. Maybe someone can make heads or tails out of that or give me some idea if I can make anything out of it by looking at something else!

Hope this is what you were looking for and let me know if there is anything else.
