My aldosterone was 10 (range 4-31). What should I think of that?

yesterday from 1.75 to 2 grains and woke up today with a basal of 97.7 (instead

tomorrow, but still, its nice to see I'm getting close : )

Here's excellent aldosterone info from the STTM website:ALDOSTERONE test: Mea­su­res the adre­nal hor­mone aldos­te­rone which helps regu­late levels of sodium and potas­sium in your body – i.e. it helps you retain nee­ded salt, which in turn helps con­trol your blood pres­sure, the dis­tri­bu­tion of fluids in the body, and the balance of elec­troly­tes in your blood. If you are mid-or-below in the range, which is often 4.0 — 31.0 ng/dl , there is rea­son to be sus­pi­cious that your adre­nals aren't pro­du­cing enough, since healthy adre­nals will gene­rally put you in the upper range.This is best tes­ted in the mor­ning and with no salt intake for 24 hours. Women need to do it in the first week after their period, since rising pro­ges­te­rone can also raise your aldos­te­rone. Cen­ter of this range is 17.5.Tes­ting should not be done with severe ill­ness (aldos­te­rone falls in res­ponse to severe ill­ness), during periods of intense stress (aldos­te­rone rises), or right after stre­nuous exer­cise (aldos­te­rone rises). Being preg­nant can result in dou­bled amounts of aldosterone.Women should test their aldos­te­rone in the first week after mens­trua­tion when pro­ges­te­rone is the lowest (higher pro­ges­te­rone rai­ses aldosterone)from:http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/lab-values/--- In RT3_T3 , "Christian" wrote:>> My aldosterone was 10 (range 4-31).
