What does this test Aldosterone Test identify?

Aldosterone Test

The aldosterone test is a blood test that measures the level of aldosterone in the blood. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body.

This test is usually ordered to help diagnose conditions related to aldosterone production, such as primary aldosteronism (Conn's syndrome), secondary aldosteronism, and Addison's disease. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for these conditions.

Abnormal levels of aldosterone can lead to high blood pressure, low potassium levels, and other electrolyte imbalances. By measuring aldosterone levels, healthcare providers can better understand the underlying cause of these conditions and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
