with initial concentrations below threshold of assay. In , aldosterone concentrations remained below threshold in 4 patients whose lines overlap and are therefore indistinguishable. Reference range for serum aldosterone in supine patients is 135–400 pmol/l. Note that even 'normal' serum aldosterone would be inappropriately low in patients with sodium depletion.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Inappropriately low aldosterone concentrations in adults with AIDS-related diarrhoea in Zambia: a study of response to fluid challenge"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1756-0500/1/10</p><p>BMC Research Notes 2008;1():10-10.</p><p>Published online 17 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2518272.</p><p></p
