Re: aldosterone and renin urine test

[Guest guest]

Val,

The reason he is testing me is because my blood pressure is so low and

lowers on standing. Would that indicate high aldosterone? It seems

like the first time he asked me to limit salt. Idiot.

Thanks ,

I figured it would be best to eat my normal diet or less salt. So no

salt it is! Thanks so much,

Yes that would indicate LOW aldosterone but you should fast salt for 48

hours before the test.
