¿Alguien tuvo en cuenta los análisis de sangre de su médico al intentar obtener un diagnóstico? Mi sodio era 146 (rango 135 - 145), no muy alto. El bicarbonato era 12 (rango 22 - 29). Cuando los busco, ambos apuntan a "podría ser Cushing". Mi potasio indica cambios de almacenamiento, no estoy seguro de lo que significa (eran análisis de sangre privados).
Cortisol alto a las 9 a.m. y a las 12 a.m.
My gp (General Practioner) took blood tests but not the right one. I did my own research undiagnosed for a couple of years and my symptoms became extremely acute. I asked for a morning serum cortisol, she had missed that one test. My tests were off the charts too high, clearly pointing to the problem. The UFC (24 hour urine) confirmed. They usualy require 3 diagnosis from at least 2 different tests types. Sometime cortisol can be unusually high, if stress conditions, pregnancy, athletes, ...
Did either of you get a cortisol saliva test?
Did u get a cortisol saliva test at any point?
mi médico de cabecera nunca hizo esto, voy a pedirle una derivación a un endocrinólogo el lunes
I take saliva coritol tests every few months now. My results are very low now. I like the UFC because I find the exact number of a diurnal period is accurate. I was diagnosed with recurrent cushings. I had 2 surgeries and finally Gamma Knife radiation. My numbers are good if anything I may need steroids before too long. I take replacement Thyroxine, Testosterone, and Growth Hormone.
Oh wow. I just did the cortisol saliva test and it came back very high. over 1,000, so my doc had me do the UFC, I just turned it in today so I'm hoping sometime next week I will get the results. Do you know if oral birth control effects the saliva test? I had started taking them because of irregular bleeding with the nexplanon implant in my arm.
The results it is always important to note the ranges. On my tests the results should be < .112 mcg (or ug) and my last one was at .0062 ug. Do you know the ranges for your saliva tests? It is sometimes different for different labs. My understanding is that "oral" birth control could affect the results, but your Dr should be able to answer that one. Endocrinologist is important to help.
The range was supposed to be < or = .009
Yea my endo is the one that ordered the tests. I just totally forgot to mention it when they called me I was just so freaked out. I have been doing all this research about cushings because I'm so nervous. Do the birth control pills also affect the urine test ?
hola mi prueba de cortisol en saliva fue 13100 pg/ml el rango fue 1800-14500 pg/ml ¿crees que eso fue alto?
Well based on the range they gave u you fall into it. It's in different units than mine was
