A member asked:
Had renin, aldosterone and cortisol checked...would 20 mg prednisone taken effect these labs? so far renin and cortisol low. waiting for aldosterone
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could: affect the cortisol, depending on when you took it in relation to when you had your blood drawn, but should have no effect whatsoever on the renin or aldosterone. Hope this helps!
