Intrepreting the results

Hi All

My daughter is nearly 2 and has been diagnosed at 6 months with non-saltwasting CAH.  She has always had her bloods done and they have always been good - we were told.

We have just had some results which say her "plasma renin" is 23.0nmol/hr/L - and it seems as though she has a salt losing tendency.

Does anyone know the levels / borderline - high and low levels etc.  I am going into overdrive her - is she in danger - should he have fludocortisone, can you come on and off of fludocortisone.  Will she compensate later on of will she now be a salt loser..... What are the implications.

thanks in anticipation
