Guest guest Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Oops - Let's try again: 11/23/11 - 24 hour Urine: creatinine - 923 (800-1800) mg/24 hr potassium - 116 (25-125) mg/24 hr sodium - 88 (40-220) mg/24 hr Random Urine: creatinine - 21.1 mg potassium - 26.4 mg sodium - 20 mmol/l 11/18/11 - Basic Metabolic Panel: creatinine - 0.7 (0.8-1.7) mg/dl potassium - 4.8 (3.3-5.1) mmol/l sodium - 134 (137-147) mmol/l My nephro said that I should aim for less than 80 mmol (2 grams?) of sodium, so the 88mmol is not too bad. However, would 88 mmol = 2200 mg and be quite a bit over 1500 mg? And, therefore, I would I want to aim for less than 1500 mg or 60 mmol? Is my conversion correct?

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Dr. Grim, Earlier you had requested the results of my 24 hour urine from November. They follow from earlier post. Is my math/interpretation correct about aiming for less than 60 mmol of sodium in my next 24 hour urine? Also, if a packaged food has almost as much K as Na, does that make any difference in sodium impact on your body?
