A member asked:

Follow up question - can you have normal serum sodium and serum potassium levels and have low aldosterone levels ? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serum Na and K ?'s: Low aldosterone can cause irregularities in both sodium and potassium serum levels, but normal levels are also possible. Get a referral to an endocrinologist for a workup for low aldosterone.
