Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Dr. Grim, Here are some test results from 1/05. I was in a major " episode " and had been on high K meds until one week before the tests. Note the FT3? I had been off all T3 for two or three months. Renin 0.9 (0.4 - 4.5) Aldosterone 19 (4 - 31) ARR = 21.1 (They use 20 - 30 as indicative of PA) Free testosterone 3.0 (0.0 - 2.2) H ACTH 169 (0 - 60) H Dopamine 46 (60 - 440) L Epinephrine <3 (0 - 25) Norepinephrine <10 (0 - 100) Metanephrine 123 (30 - 350) Normetanephrine 268 (50 - 650) Cortisol 18 (5 - 25) (9 a.m.) Prolactin 10 (2 - 15) DHEA-S 110 (19 - 205) Everything else normal except for low FT3 = 2.1 (2.4 - 4.2) There is a note that says " Urine catecholamines in this speciman show no evidence for a secreting neuroendocrine tumor. " I remember some more in May of 05. ARR was 32.5 but aldosterone was not high at all. My episode had subsided a little by then but BP was >160. I'll continue to look.
