Q: what information can be drawn from a urine test for follicle stimulating hormone? does it measure ovarian reserve? what does it tell us about a womans cycle?

: In a normal cycle the FSH will peak around ovulation. It will also increase and stay elevated as menopause approaches but the correlation with ovarian reserve is poor. It is not helpful to predict when menopause will occur nor is it a useful predictor of fertility.

Im a 30 year old male. I had a high random urine sodium level of 80 mmol/L. My sodium blood tests have always been low or low normal the past few years. Could this be a low aldosterone problem or a hormone problem or low cortisol?
