Aldosterone/Renin
An aldosterone test measures the amount of aldosterone (ALD) in your blood or urine (pee).
ALD is a hormone made by your adrenal glands, two small glands that sit above your kidneys. ALD helps keep your blood pressure stable by helping to balance the levels of two electrolytes in your blood, sodium and potassium.
ALD testing is mainly used with renin testing to diagnose two types of adrenal gland disorders, which can cause abnormal ALD levels.
