Aldosterone / Plasma Direct Renin Ratio

The Aldosterone/Plasma Direct Renin Ratio test measures the levels of two important hormones, aldosterone and renin, that help control blood pressure and the body’s salt and fluid balance. This test is mainly used to detect hormonal causes of high blood pressure, especially conditions like primary aldosteronism, where the body produces too much aldosterone. It helps doctors identify the underlying cause of hypertension, low potassium levels, dizziness, weakness, or related symptoms for better health management.
