Plasma Renin

Rumpled or anyone else...

Rumpled gave me a list of things I should have my dr. check for adrenal disorders.  Can anyone tell me about Plasma Renin Activity coming back high at 5.2?

Hah... ACTH can be so done wrong in the lab that it should not be trusted.
He should trust the symptoms. Sad.

I don't know yet.  I haven't seen the dr. (my normal endocrinologist) since I got the test results.  I see her April 4th.  I went to the cleveland clinic and he shushed me when I told him about the test and my salt cravings. Said because my ACTH wasn't outrageously high there was NO WAY I could have adrenal insuffiency.
