high cortisol and sodium levels in carriers of CAH
Jun. 30th, 2003   3:12pm

Hello!  I posted earlier about kidney stones in carriers.  I recently had my blood work done and my cortisol levels are VERY high, although  I show no signs of Cushingoid syndrome.  I also have very high sodium levels, although I have very little salt in my diet ( I never salt my food, just salt that is already in the things I make).  Both of these things my nephrologist thought very strange.  I just wondered if any other carriers had the same experience.  The drs I am dealing with think this is contributing to my kidney stones.  Both of my kidneys are full of stones and I am having one heck of a time taking care of my two CAH daughters with these stones all the time.  Incidently, my cousin and my sister recently found out they are both carriers and have similar lab results as me.  Just wondering!  Thank you for your help!
