Test Overview

The aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR), that is the ratio of plasma aldosterone to plasma renin activity (PRA) is a measure of the balance between two hormones: aldosterone and plasma renin activity (PRA). Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate salt and water balance in the body, while renin is an enzyme produced by the kidneys that regulate blood pressure.

The ratio of aldosterone to renin in the bloodstream can provide information about the functioning of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which is a complex hormonal system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.

The Aldosterone/PRA ratio is often used as a diagnostic tool to help identify underlying causes of high blood pressure, such as primary aldosteronism, also known as Conn's syndrome. In this condition, the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone, which can cause high blood pressure and other health problems.

A high aldosterone/PRA ratio may indicate that there is an excess of aldosterone in the body, while a low ratio may indicate a deficiency. This can help doctors determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

More Info on Aldosterone-to-Renin Ratio

Aldosterone is a hormone that plays a vital important role in maintaining a normal sodium and potassium level in blood along with controlling blood volume and blood pressure. Renin is an enzyme that modulates production of aldosterone. Aldosterone is produced by the adrenal glands located at the top of each of our kidney in the outer surface. It stimulates the retention of salt and the elimination of potassium by the kidneys. Renin is produced by the kidneys and it controls the activation of the hormone angiotensin, which accelerates the adrenal glands to produce aldosterone.

The kidneys release renin when there is a drop in blood pressure or a decrease in the levels of sodium chloride in the kidney. It holds the blood protein angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I, which is then converted by a second enzyme to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II triggers blood vessels to shrink, and it accelerates aldosterone production. Overall, this increases blood pressure and maintains sodium and potassium at normal levels.

Since renin and aldosterone function together, both the protein and enzyme are often tested together to identify the cause of an abnormal aldosterone level.
