Some VA labs that seem to not matter.

[Guest guest]

Listed is some of my VA abnormal lads that no one at the VA has ever questioned.

Date/Time Collected: 14 Jan 2009 @ 1150 SPECIFIC GRAVITY 1.004 Low (1.016-1.022)

Date/Time Collected: 09 Jan 2008 @ 1410 SPECIFIC GRAVITY 1.009 Low (1.016-1.022)

Date/Time Collected: 16 Nov 2005 @ 1400 SPECIFIC GRAVITY 1.005 Low (1.016-1.022)

Note first SP test was done before and meds started. Also Had 3 24 hr urine

tests. First 24 hr Vol done before starting fluid pills.

Date/Time Collected: 24 Jul 2008 @ 1409 TOTAL VOL = 1350 mL

Date/Time Collected: 08 Feb 2008 @ 0915 total vol = 1450 ml.

Date/Time Collected: 07 Aug 2006 @ 1100 total vol = 575 ML

Specimen: Serum

Date/Time Collected: 11 Mar 2006 @ 1313 LUTROPIN 0.6 Low mIUnits/mL (1-9)

64 M NH vet with HTN Possable since 1966 but most B/P at that time were normal a

few with top 140, K went to 3.2 with HCTZ (2007). Sx of CHF. CT 2 cm L adrenal

adenoma(2006). Aldo Renin not classic for PA but done on meds. Never tried on

spiro or eplere but trying to get VA to try. B/P is arould 140/80 on diuretics

eating less NA not at DASH goal. Normal Echo and stress tests.

Are all the K tests done during this time right?

Date/Time Collected: 04 Jan 2011 @ 1414 POTASSIUM 3.8 mmol/L (3.5-5.0)

Date/Time Collected: 14 Jan 2011 @ 1530 POTASSIUM 4.0 mmol/L (3.5-5.0)

Date/Time Collected: 17 Feb 2011 @ 1150 POTASSIUM 3.9 mmol/L (3.5-5.0)

On Jan 29 2011 went to Dartmouth ED At this visit was told all tests were normal

On Jan 31 2011 went to VA ED because of the shaking. In the VA notes it shows

that test for K done at Dartmouth was 3.3.So the VA isn't the only one that over

looks tests results. The VA did not do any tests on this visit Just states

shaking likely due to anxiety.

On the Dartmouth site they list the low normal for K as 3.7.
