[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

I haven't gone to see the endo again but I got some results faxed

over by his secretary today..just wondering if you can gather

anything from them:

Parathyroid hormone 25.0 ref range 15.0 - 68.3

Aldosterone 168

supine <440 pmol/L

Ambulatory 110 - 880 pmol/L

Conns syndrome 638-2220 pmol/L

Active Renin 11.9

Adults

supine 3- 16 ng/L

ambulatory 3-33 ng/L

There's also Adrenocorticotrophil hormone 7.5 with this underneath

At 08h00 1.6-13.9 pmol/L

At 16h00 50% of 08h00 value

Thanks Val for your help regarding my bro's cat too. You're amazing!

I've left him with the info.

Love

Unless oyu were laying down for 20 minutes prior to blood draw you would use

ambulatory range which puts you pretty low. I would definitely try Florinef wiht

thiis lab.

I do nto know alot obout Renin but will try to look it up this after onoon once

hiome from work.

This is ACTh what time was the blood draw? If 9am or earlier it is pretty low

indicating a pit problem, if it was around noon it is probabyl close to right.

Hi Val,

I'm pretty sure all of these tests were done at the same time about

9am fasting, I was in bed since midnight and as requested lying flat

on my back for several hours..I was in hospital..so does that mean

the Aldosterone is probably okay do you think? Re AcTH, I hadn't

taken any meds that morning but the day before I had a small amount

of HC as I had gone into tremors coz he'd taken me off steroid the

day before that..and before that I was on 5mg deltacortril for at

least 6 weeks..so maybe does all this mean that these tests are

meaningless?? You are so kind to look up the Renin meaning..any

understanding of Parathyroid test?

Many thanks Val and blessings on you,

Sara
