That the body will only retain salt if the child is on adequate dose of florinef. All excess salt is secreted. Isn't it only high salt levels in the blood cells that cause them to make problems? I did post something on this a while ago. If you sone was a salt waster Kate and has always been maintained on that particular dose of florinef as Ashley has with no blood pressure problems until now, that needs to be investigated, as I do not feel that childs needs for florinef would decrease would it if he was SWCAH? Seems strange. Is he being treated for the under suppression, and what has the dose raise been in cortisol? It's just that the hct has salt retaining properties too although not to the extent that florinef does.
