with your Neperologhist?

Didn't you say you used two jugs. Were they both given to you by the lab? If not

how did you clean the jug and did you keep it refrigerated.

I you are doing good on getting UK to above 110. Your Are eating 2 x the amount of Na as u should be. The high alb/creat indicates Kidney damage from excess Aldoand too much salt. See if you can find out where the salt is coming from. Read every label. Do you eat out of the home? May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertensionOn Apr 6, 2012, at 18:56, airlinerg <airlinerg@...> wrote:

I asked for 2 jugs. Neither had preservative. Neither was refrigerated. They were kept at room temperature - about 72 degrees Fahrenheit.The lab technician only wanted to give me one jug but I asked for 2. He asked me why. I said I urinate very often. > > > > > >> > > > > > > When you do a 24 Hour Urine test what specifically should be> > > > tested> > > > > > > besides cortisol, potassium and sodium?> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > >> > > >> > >> >>

Most 24 hour test say to keep urine refrigerated even if the have a

preservative in the jug. If this isn't done then may change results of tests.

If the results are right for Microalbumin then this indicates you have some

kidney damage and you need medical advice as to what to do next.
