Suffering From Hyper Tension. Tests Done, What Does This Mean? Anything To Worry?
I'm a 65 year old female, 5'6", 148 lbs. I have hypertension that is dificult to regulate. My systolic number is usually high, I just had some lab work done and my cortisol level is a bit high (25.8) and my microalbum, ur, detection limit less than 20 m/l was 74.3 when th high end of normal is 30. My microalbumin/creatinine is 40 when the high limit should be 30. What does all this mean and should I be concerned?
