Had a hypertensive crisis w chf kidney u/s showed echogenic renal pyramids. bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) is low 20.5 aldosterone 2.4 rdw 18.1 blood in urine , ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aldosterone 2.4: Your question cannot be answered properly, as you did not give enough information. You aldosterone (a) level is 2.4. It is difficult to say what that means because your a is dependent on whether you were standing, sitting, or lying down when the blood was drawn and normal values vary from lab to lab. A physician (p)ordered your test, ask the p for a more-informed answer to your question better.
