A member asked:
Is an a.m. aldosterone of 6ng/dl on the low side? range is < or = 28 which seems dumb because a value of 0 or 1 would be "in range".
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That is an acceptable level in and of itself, but it must be evaluated in the context of other hormonal levels and other symptoms and signs you are experiencing.
