What is ALDOSTERONE?

Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and the balance of salt and water in the body. This test measures its level in your blood.

Why is this test important?

This test is used to investigate high blood pressure, especially when resistant to treatment, and to diagnose conditions like primary aldosteronism (Conn's syndrome) or adrenal insufficiency.

How to Prepare

Specific preparation may be required, including dietary adjustments and medication review. Please consult your doctor for detailed instructions before the test.
