too much aldosterone and afib?
I began my journey with Atrial fibrillation in 2010. Low potassium and high blood pressure was considered to be the instigator. I found out a year ago that I have a tumor on an adrenal gland that is producing too much aldosterone. Too much aldosterone causes low potassium and high blood pressure. I currently

high aldosterone, high renin.. renal artery stenosis?
had tests re done bloods and urine due to high blood pressure. Sure I’ve had them done two or three times in past year but this time renin elevated at 101, and markedly elevated aldosterone at 969. Albumin/creative ratio elevated at 6.2 (upper limit 3.5). Strongly pointing towards secondary hyperaldosteronism

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

Newly diagnosed
Hello, I would like some help as I am new to all of this and feeling a little overwhelmed. I am a 32 year old female (66kg) I have had high thyroid antibodies for years and had a baby 8 months ago which has tipped my body into being hypothyroid. So I assume I have hashimotos although this hasn’t been

Adding more T3? or keep as is?
Hello All, I am looking to see any suggestions regarding adding more T3 to my current regimen. I am on 175 Tirosint T4 and 10mcg T3; I have Hashimoto’s and have been working on my iron by adding iron bisglycinate, which has helped as I am not dizzy, lightheaded, and have more focus. I also noticed

Update #4: Adrenal Results
Strangely enough, my results are back. I spoke with the endo this evening who gave me his take. He thinks I have primary adrenal insufficiency, he believes this because my endogenous ACTH is suffice according to him. He sees my Aldosterone & Cortisol are both lacking and stated this is why my thyroid

New Clinical Trial for Non-diabetic CKD
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have nondiabetic chronic kidney disease (non-diabetic CKD). The trial treatment, finerenone, is being developed to help people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by blocking a certain hormone called aldosterone that causes injury

high cholesterol
Hi. My daughter, 43, has cholesterol level of 10.3. Her GP is utterly unconcerned. She is tested for hypthyroidism (as this is prevalent in the family) and other things, but she tells me all other tests are normal. Why isn't her doctor bothered about this cholesterol level. Mine is five point something

T3 Dosage
Hi everyone My GP referred me to endocrinology. They called me a few weeks ago & suggested I lower my dose of T3 , I take 75mcg of cytomel. I was advised to take 50mcg. I asked the reason why. He said it was because t3 has long term effects of osteoporosis. I feel like 75mcg is the perfect dose

T3 Dose Help
I'm due to see an endocrinologist privately tomorrow for the first time. I've been on levo for 13 years after a TT for ThyCa. I've never taken T3 so I'll be asking to try it since I've felt rubbish for 13 years! So my question is what kind of dose of T3 would I expect to take initially? I'm on 150mg

Has anyone knowledge and / or experience of either or both of these ? I take Levo ..and was considering adding in one of these in place of adding in straight t3 As I don’t know what they represent . Does anyone know, in terms of t4 and t3 exactly or even roughly what they represent? And is
