Same day and Affordable Aldosterone 24 Hour Urine Test, Locations Nationwide

Interested in knowing more about your blood pressure? Request A Test offers the convenient and affordable Aldosterone 24 Hour Urine Test in Richmond, VA. This test measures Aldosterone levels in a 24-hour urine sample. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands which helps to regulate the levels of sodium and potassium in the blood as well as controlling blood pressure and volume. A condition known as Primary Aldosteronism or Conn Syndrome causes the adrenal glands to produce excess aldosterone which causes the body to retain excess sodium and lose potassium resulting in high blood pressure. Because blood Aldosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day, a urine test can sometimes be more informative than a blood test since it looks at the average level of aldosterone being excreted over a 24-hour period.

An Aldosterone test is typically ordered to help diagnose the cause of high blood pressure, especially if a person is not responding to blood pressure medication or has low potassium levels. The process through which the body regulates blood pressure relies on both Aldosterone and the enzyme Renin. Together, Aldosterone and Renin help maintain healthy blood pressure levels. While Aldosterone testing is sometimes useful by itself, it is common to measure Aldosterone and Renin levels together. The Aldosterone: Renin Ratio Test which measures both components is available. As is the Aldosterone Blood Test.
