supine/upright aldosterone levels

[Guest guest]

What does it mean when your aldosterone levels are low (4) when laying down (as

well as blood pressure...132/82) but when upright, is high and bp is high as

soon as you stand up too (157/99)??? Renin, stays supressed in either position.

BTW...had MRI/MRA this am without contrast. They listened to my concerns

regarding contrast, then scanned w/o, radiologist looked at them and said he had

all he needed, so didn't have to use contrast. The tech said that my ability to

breathe, hold my breath well, etc. was a factor. Said my scan came out

beautifully!

Anyone know of a Young at Mayo? Doc 3 sent my labs/records to him.

Finally got a call back from his nurse who told me this is the reason she didn't

call me sooner; she couldn't find my chart because the doc took it home. I

asked them to fax me the results and they said they could not; only mail them.

So they are mailing them. I have no idea when I'll get the scan results, or

what I'll have to do to get them. I do have 2 extra DVD's of it though no

radiology report.
