Help with a few Test Results

[Guest guest]

Went to an endo who was trying to figure out why I have high urine

cortisol.

he took desamethosone test which was normal but he took the

following and I'm not sure what they mean and he never called

(please don't tell me to call him since I can't understand his

English anyways LOL) He wrote everything is normal.

Aldosterone Renin Activity Ratio Plasma

Nonhypertensive adults (upright/sitting) 5.3 (.65 - 5.0)

Renovascular hypertenson possible > 1.5

ALDOSTERONE SERUM 8 (upright 8- 10am) < or = 28) I took this at

1:15pm

11-DEOXYCORTISOL < 20 (<= 62)

I can go for several days to weeks and then all of a sudden my BP

goes to 135/95 when I was in his office and looking at his white

coat it was 146/105 but it returned to normal later that day.

Thanks

>>Aldosterone Renin Activity Ratio Plasma

I would say this is Renin which is high as your body is asking for more

Aldosterone

>>ALDOSTERONE SERUM 8 (upright 8- 10am) < or = 28) I took this at

Hard to tell as was not done close to 8AM when it peaks, but it is low for an AM

level, I do nto knwo what it should be at 1PM.

>>11-DEOXYCORTISOL < 20 (<= 62)<<

This number is fine. It is a cortisol metabolite and shows a perfectly safe

level. Not high.

>>I can go for several days to weeks and then all of a sudden my BP

JUst elevated from stress in the Dr office, very common. But the 135/95 is

showing a bit if hypertension.
