Re: Check out these labs - aldosterone, read from Val please

[Guest guest]

The rest of my labs came in and I don't know if they indicate that I

would benefit from florinef or not. I am using about a tsp/day of sea

salt, sometimes a little more, but at a tsp like I had today I do

retain water in my hands.

Aldosterone: 8 (4-31)

Plasma renin: 6.3 (non-hypertensive adults, upright .65 - 5)

Previous labs from October when I drank salt water on the way to get

the tests were:

Aldosterone: 9.1 (4-31)

Renin: 3.9 (it doesn't say anything about plasma - different lab .5 - 4)

So, now, my aldosterone is low-normal and my renin is high-normal?

What does that mean?

TIA,

With renin that high it means your body is asking for more aldosterone and not

gettiung it, You would benefit from Florinef.

Thanks Val. Is there a reference for how to interpret those that that

I can share with my doc that will lead him to the same conclusion -

he's been pretty good about writing scripts, but he was more

interested in talking about adaptogens than he was florinef when I saw

him. If I were to go on florinef would I probably end up reducing HC?

Thanks.
