Common Questions and Answers about Antidiuretic hormone vs aldosterone

Avatar f tn A low BUN/Creatinine ratio may be associated with a diet low in protein, a severe muscle injury called rhabdomyolysis, pregnancy, Cirrhosis, or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). SIADH sometimes occurs with lung disease, cancer, diseases of the central nervous system, and the use of certain medications. I gave you more info in your personal message.
Avatar n tn I have no idea to tell you how you can "reverse" the effects as I am not a doctor, but aldosterone is a hormone and endo's deal with hormones. I would think that is the direction that you should be heading in. I found this site online { which you probably already found } but I'll pass it along anyways. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/aldosterone Mellowscout...good luck.
Avatar f tn Rarely an aldosterone-secreting ademoma can be elsewhere in your abdomen. Aldosterone is an important hormone to regulate, in a complex system (renine-angiotensin-aldosterone system), the level of sodium ions in blood, and water content, blood pressure and blood volume. You seem to have different units and reference ranges for aldosterone (than we here). Some medications and stress among others affect aldosterone testing.
Avatar f tn Antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH deficiency is known as diabetes insipidus. Symptoms are frequent thirst and urination. Treatment is desmopressin (synthetic replacement for vasopressin) - taken 2 to 3 times a day.
Avatar n tn 2) Aldosterone/Renin levels (regulate sodium/potassium in system and thus is good to check the sodium and postassium levels along with the a/r tests). Aldosterone is an adrenal hormone. Low aldosterone can cause dry/brittle hair, constipation and dry nails.
Avatar f tn Excess Potassium is removed from the body by the Kidneys and so this would be a starting point. The Hormone aldosterone controls the rate at which the kidneys remove potassium,water and sodium from the blood and this hormone is a steriod type produced in the adrenal gland. Some medications as a side effect act as a aldosterone inhibitor. The technical term for high potassium is hyperkalemia and there can be a few symptoms. These include nausea, slow/weak pulse or abnormal heart rhythms.
Avatar f tn s which is too much cortisol before) there are also other hormones too like renin and aldosterone which govern sodium and potassium, and DHEA which can give off a hormone that can turn into testosterone or estrogen. So those cysts can be putting pressure on the adrenals and can be effecting a lot of things. If her sodium and potassium are effected, that can also be life threatening - in other words, she really needs to see an expert soon. She really needs testing to tell what is going on.
Avatar n tn During such periods I have polyuria, high serum osmolality and high serum Na+. My antidiuretic hormone decreses during water deprivation, although it should instead increase. Doctors do not agree that I have DI.
875426 tn?1325528416 I was looking over some old labs and some info on aldosterone and renin from a couple of sources. While one source says people with POTS w/hypovolemia have paradoxically low renin and aldosterone levels and the cause is not exactly understood- they hypothesize perhaps the kidneys are being denervated, another site says if aldosterone and renin are both low they think there could be a problem with the pituitary.
Avatar n tn The adrenal glands secrete several hormones so it could be cortisol, renin, aldosterone or others that make blood pressure super high like metaphrines? So unless you know the exact hormone hard to say... Without tests, hard to say. If it is kidney, then not my area.
Avatar n tn The renin/aldosterone hormone combo does affect the urinary system more so I suppose, however I was always under the assumption that the endo docs specialized in these hormones as well. As I said before, the issue that caused your HR to decrease so drastically has me stumped. However, the symptoms that you had are conistent with syncope, which is just a fancy word for passing out or fainting. You had a significant drop in your rate and pressure, and your brain just reacted in that way.
Avatar n tn The adrenals happen to give off several hormones so depending on the one, the treatment can vary. Hyper-aldosterone I am guessing it was renin or aldosterone which means your sodium or potassium are very off. Those can also be effected by other hormones like cortisol, another adrenal hormone. It is most helpful to have a copy of the labs and know the exact hormone and the range and what tests you had exactly.
Avatar f tn the red blood cell count is slightly elevated (at 4,89 for a standard maximum of 4,80) and cobalamin (Vitamin B12) is also elevated (at over 1000 for a standard maximum of 982). Aldosterone is over two fold the standard maximum (586 for 275).

Avatar f tn Did they test your sodium level in your blood or a 24 hour urine test for sodium? What about testing your thyroid function & ADH or antidiuretic hormone, which helps regulate water in your body? Did they do a color doppler on your legs to test circulation? Peripheral vascular disease can affect extremities with pain and swelling. My grandma had PVD. Your heart's okay you say, but what about your triglycerides and cholesterol levels?
487969 tn?1249313291 Aldosterone is an adrenal hormone that regulates the salt/potassium levels in your blood. Low aldosterone can cause salt cravings. High aldosterone can cause high blood pressure. High levels of progesterone can artificially elevate your aldosterone level, so it's best to get this done during the first 4-5 days of your menstrual cycle (if you still have it). Best to get this done after you've been up for 2 hours or it'll also be unusually high.
Avatar f tn Has the doc run other testing like sodium, potassium and other cortisol testing - and adrenal testing like aldosterone, renin, antibodies, etc? Any imaging?
Avatar f tn s Syndrome, Pheochromocytoma, Hyper or Hypoparathyroidism, Hyper or Hypothyroidism, Diabetes Insipidus, Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion and Carcinoid Syndrome respectively.
Avatar m tn hello I'm 36 y male. I have been very sick for 6 months. I have got a sever POTS symptoms which are " jump in the heart rate to 120 or more with standing, weakness, sever fatigue,tingling in legs and hand, dizziness.and PACs extra heart beat"But what makes me crazy is that duke in my BP with standing. When lay down my BP is 125/85 but with standing up it flays to 140/110 or some time more. My diastolic stay over 100 when I'm standing.
212161 tn?1599427282 d first look at the kidney - looking at renal stenosis (a blockage in a kidney artery) which results in too much renin and aldosterone hormone. An MD would listen there for a bruit. If not that, then maybe a kidney infection, which can be tested in the urine The other hormone as a culprit would be adrenalines, as in a pheochromocytoma or super stress.
