Guest guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Francis, did you miss a step? I understood low NA allowed Spiro to work which inturn blocked excess Aldosterone. From that I would presume anything that is affected by excess aldosterone w/could be affected! I worded it that way because I have been entering my BS numbers into a database this morning and found a significant jump in mid Feb., 2011 and until recently it has stayed up. I'm starting to conclude NA was getting low enough to release excess glucose in mid Feb. even though flank pain didn't resolve until mid Apr. The jury is still out but I trying to document the road up from atleast 2005 and then the recovery both by time and effect! Regarding your comment re: mental health, do you have any more info on that and is it really the excess Aldosterone? I saw something referring to Spiro affecting the meds. which I referred to Drs. Webster and Bolton (Phsyco Doc at FEA Clinic). MSG.

Many thanks,NataliaTo: "hyperaldosteronism " <hyperaldosteronism >Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2011 9:59 PMSubject: Re: Sodium (Na) in Urine If u are doing OK on DASH and Spiro no reason to test.Tiped sad Send form miiPhone ;-)May your pressure be low!CE Grim MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension So what happens when you have normal sodium in both the 24 hour and one time spot but your aldosterone levels are high.My doctor always tests my aldsoterone with my renin and renin is where it should be but aldosterone not. Should aldosterone also be checked urine or just blood. Pam Sodium (Na) in Urine A test for sodium in the urine is a 24-hour test or a one-time (spot) test that checks how much sodium is in the urine. Sodium is both an electrolyte and a mineral. It helps keep the water (the amount of fluid inside and outside the body's cells) and electrolyte balance of the body. Sodium is also important in how nerves and muscles work. Most of the sodium in the body (about 85%) is found in blood and lymph fluid. Sodium levels in the body are partly controlled by a hormone called aldosterone, which is made by the adrenal glands. Aldosterone levels tell the kidneys when to hold sodium in the body instead of passing it in the urine. (See a picture of the adrenal glands or the kidneys .) Small amounts of sodium are also lost through the skin when you sweat. Most foods have sodium naturally in them or as an ingredient in cooking. Sodium is found in table salt as sodium chloride or in baking soda as sodium bicarbonate. Many medicines and other products also have sodium in them, including laxatives, aspirin, mouthwash, and toothpaste. Too much sodium in the diet may raise blood pressure in some people. For those who have high blood pressure, eating foods with a lot of sodium makes their chance of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage higher. Heart failure gets worse when too much sodium is eaten. It increases the amount of water the body holds in and this causes swelling of the legs and hands. Some people have problems when they eat more than 4,000 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day. Low sodium levels are uncommon and most often occur as a side effect of taking medicines that make you urinate more, such as diuretics. Severe diarrhea or vomiting or heavy sweating may also cause low sodium levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
