Guest guest Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I am new to this and find all the information a little daunting. I found out that I had low potassium last August & my family doctor finally recommended that I go to a kidney specialist in May. My aldo/PRA ratio was 466.7,so she referred me to an endocrinologist. I had a CAT Scan which showed a 6.7 mm mass on my left adrenal gland. The saline suppression test was close to normal, so I had more blood drawn and my aldo/PRA ratio was 233.3. So the endo recommended that I get an AVS - she likes Hershey Medical Center. I keep taking more potassium (up to 150 MEQ now) but my potassium stays below normal. My BP is relatively controlled with 2 meds and baby aspirin. My endo is fine if I go elsewhere for the AVS. I live in Central PA and see that NIH and Dr. Liddell in Baltimore have been recommended for an AVS. I am looking for feedback on good interventional radiologists in the balt/phila/DC are and what questions I should ask them. Any other feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
