Re: Should I test my Aldosterone before I start adrenal meds?

[Guest guest]

I would wait. As long as you can, otherwise you might need to stop

treatment (such as cortef) for the blood tests to be accurate.

Also, get your renin level checked too.

There's something I read about that level where the two go hand and

hand.

Aldosterone testing is WAY down the road as not many will actually need

to replace ths with adrenal fatigue.

Thanks so much for your input. I was just worried that if I started

meds I would have to get off them so I could do testing. Thanks!
