Can anyone help interpret these urine test results?

[rock4god]

I had a 24 hr urine test to test my adrenal function. These are the results I got in the mail today.

DHEA   2800   Range: 100-2000

Testosterone     21.9     5.0-35.0

Androsterone    6466    500-3200

Etiocholanone  2634   500-5000

Pregnanetriol    1666   100-1500

Cortisone          117     31-209  

Cortisol             83       30-170

Tetrahydocortisone       6436   1700-4200

Allo-Tetrahydrocortisol  2828   400-2100

Aldosterone                 13.3     Normal diet: 6.0-25.0 Low salt: 17.00-44.00 High Salt 0-6

Allo-Tetrahydrocorticosterone   691     130-600

Tetrahydrocorticosterone         274       30-240            


I know it's a lot and I apologize. But I have no clue what these mean since half of them are high.

Thanks :)

No, but my doctor might have me get one, depending on what she thinks it is. I'm going to see her on Thursday.

Have you considered having an ACTH Stimulation Test?

I don't even know. We're in full limbo of trying to figure out what's up with my body. We're going back between thyroid and hormone issues (or even both). My symptoms fit in both hyper and hypo adrenal. I have trouble falling asleep, allergies, a lot of sweating, but I also don't do well between meals. When I'm hungry, my energy (or what little there is there) is sapped out of me completely. Immediately after I eat, it's better. I also have the dizziness when I stand up too quickly, though it isn't constant. Depends on the day. Some days I'm so dizzy period I can't even get out of bed without almost falling.

Are your symptoms hyper or hypo adrenal?
