About This Topic

The initial hyperaldosteronism workup includes testing for Aldosterone/Renin Activity Ratio (0070073) or Aldosterone and Renin Direct, With Ratio (3005949). Standalone testing may not be diagnostic.

Recommendation

The combined aldosterone and renin tests, Aldosterone/Renin Activity Ratio (0070073), or Aldosterone and Renin Direct, With Ratio (3005949), are preferred when screening for hyperaldosteronism.
