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

My first endocrinologist visit
Hi everyone, On the 27th I have my first appointment with an endo. He ordered blood tests for me before he even spoke to me or knew what dose of pred I was taking. (I'm taking 7 mg a day now.

Newly diagnosed
Hello, I would like some help as I am new to all of this and feeling a little overwhelmed.

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

New T3 Supplier Please
Hi Everyone, I posted earlier about my T3 supplier and have been advised by mods to consider change to Tiromel instead as better availability. I would really appreciate details of recent suppliers for this, by DM only please as per group rules. Thank you and keep well everyone. Gillian

Re: ?D102 test
Hiya! Does anyone know, please: 1) If the D102 test is the one that tests for the gene related to t4 to t3 conversion? 2) I looked at Regenerus Labs and on the test it says: “DI02 Support telephone consultation…Recommended: Contact practitioner before placing order” does anyone know what this

latest bloods
I’m on a journey with t3 it’s taking a while. Latest bloods reflect 15mcg taken in one dose and 50mcg levothyroxine I think I need to increase levo but on 75 I was slightly over medicated I felt. A reply on here suggested 62.5mcg as middle road which makes sense to me but pills are tiny and crumbly

T3 private source
I wonder is it possible to source T3 outside of UK as you can with NDT? Been on NDT a few years but this latest batch doesn’t seem to suit like it usually does. Please PM me if know of a reliable source. Thank you.

Was hoping for some advice please
Didn't really receive any advice from my previous post https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/151062372/help-please After dropping from 125mcg Levo to 100mcg and retesting after 9 weeks, my T4, very surprisingly, is still quite high in range and I think I still feel overmedicated. As with last
