Thyroid: No Thyroid meds 12 hrs before test& should be done in the morning-

JUST RIGHT

• FT3

• RT3

accurate test! Eat NORMALLY the day before NO food or drink except plain water

befroe testing.

• Fasting glucose test

• HA1c ?

Aldosteron: no salt 48 hts before test No salt 24 hours before testing and

must be done 1-2 days of your cycle.

• Aldosterone – sitting up& by 9am

• Renin

• Sodium

• Potasium RBC

• Magnesium RBC

Misc tests

• Leptin

hi val,

im planning to test aldosterone/sodium/potassium this month. and as far as i

know my cycle should be starting august 13th, which is a friday, BUT it COULD be

a day or two off of that, and there is no way for me to be sure until it comes:/

(it started the 13th of july, the 13th of june, and the 11th of may, the 15th of

april, ...so sometimes its a few days off)

i need to coordinate a time to take the test with my work, so i just scheduled

it for monday, august 16th...thinking it had to be days 1-4 of my cycle.

how should i handle this situation?... say i start on that friday, it will be

too late to get the test done on that day, and days 2 and 3 are on the

weekend... the earliest would be that monday, day 4...

would that make the test unreliable?

thanks val, just dont want to waste a whole test (and the money that goes into

it of course,lol)
