Also Known As:
ARR
The Aldosterone-Renin Ratio (ARR) test measures the levels of aldosterone and renin in your blood to assess the balance of these hormones, which help regulate blood pressure and fluid balance. It is primarily used to screen for primary hyperaldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone, leading to high blood pressure and low potassium levels. A high ARR may indicate an overproduction of aldosterone, while a normal ratio usually rules out this condition.
