Aldosterone, Serum
Aldosterone, Serum Price
Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate sodium and potassium balance in the body. It helps regulate blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and fluid balance in the body.
The Aldosterone Serum test measures the level of aldosterone, a hormone influencing blood pressure and electrolyte balance, directly in the bloodstream. This test offers a quick snapshot of aldosterone levels but needs to be interpreted cautiously due to factors affecting its concentration in the blood throughout the day. However, it plays a role in diagnosing various conditions:
- Primary Aldosteronism: When paired with other tests like the Aldosterone 24H Urine test, high serum aldosterone can support the diagnosis of this condition, characterized by excessive aldosterone production and high blood pressure.
- Hypertension: An elevated aldosterone level might suggest aldosterone-dependent hypertension, a specific type of high blood pressure.
- Selective Hypoaldosteronism: While the Aldosterone Serum test isn't definitive for diagnosing this rare condition, a very low level might warrant further investigation with the Aldosterone 24H Urine test for confirmation.
- Electrolyte Imbalance: Along with other clinical findings, abnormal serum aldosterone can be a clue to potential electrolyte imbalances, especially those involving sodium and potassium.
