Re: Is it Sodium Imbalance or Blood Sugar?
What aldosterone numbers did you get?
Here's what I had a couple of weeks ago. I was fasting salt.
-------------------------------
"Aldosterone/Renin Ratio"
Aldosterone 2.5 (0.0-30.0)
Renin Activity, Plasma 1.77
Adult Normal Salt
Intake:
Upright 1.31-3.95
Supine 0.15-2.33
Salt Excretion
(Na mEq/24hr
Na= 0 - 30 8.82 - 23.86
Na= 30 - 75 4.09 - 7.73
Na= 75 - 150 1.44 - 2.80
Na= >150 0.39 - 1.31
Aldos/Renin Ratio 1.4 (0.0-30.0)
-------------------------------
I never got to follow-up on these results with the original doctor I was seeing, who finally recognized that I'm very ill, because he transfered to another clinic in another city a couple hundred miles away. I've only seen the new doctor once, and he hasn't familiarized himself with my case fully, because I have been missing appointments due to being too sick. Had to miss one today even.
