The 6 tests in this panel

What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.

  • Aldosterone

    A hormone from the adrenal glands that helps your kidneys hold on to salt and water and release potassium. It helps control blood pressure.

    15+
    0–30 ng/dL

  • Plasma Renin Activity (PRA)

    Measures how active renin is in your blood. Renin is a kidney enzyme that helps control blood pressure and salt balance.

    16+
    0.17–5.38 ng/mL/h

  • Renin, Direct Concentration

    Counts the amount of active renin, a kidney enzyme that helps control blood pressure and salt balance. It is not the same test as renin activity.

    18–40
    4.2–52.2 pg/mL
    41+
    3.6–81.6 pg/mL

  • Aldosterone / Renin Activity Ratio (ARR)

    A calculated ratio of aldosterone to plasma renin activity. Clinicians use it as a first step when looking into primary aldosteronism in people with high blood pressure.

    Adults
    0–30 ng/dL per ng/mL/h

  • Aldosterone / Direct Renin Ratio (ADRR)

    A calculated ratio of aldosterone to direct renin concentration. Clinicians use it as a first step when looking into primary aldosteronism in people with high blood pressure.

    Adults
    up to 4 ng/dL per pg/mL

  • Potassium

    Potassium is a mineral that helps your nerves, muscles and heart work. This test shows how much is in your blood.

    1+
    3.5–5.2 mmol/L
