[QUOTE="lindisfel, post: 1145567, member: 57698"] Hi Kaz, I have white coated htn too! doctors call those bloods U &Es. The body has a feedback system, if sodium in blood drops renin goes up which causes the adrenals to produce more aldosterone. Aldosterone then works on the kidneys to remove sodium from the urine. Aldosterone even works on the sweat glands to stop them secreting sodium . When sodium level in blood is restored the renin and therefore the aldosterone drops and stasis is restored. I have a tumour that produces 20x the normal amount of aldosterone and my feedback system does not work...makes bp high. Some have adrenal insufficiency...not enough aldosterone and their bp is low. I doubt you have that condition kaz it is rare. atb D. [/QUOTE]
