What is the Aldosterone Serum test?
Aldosterone is a hormone that plays a very important role in maintaining normal sodium and potassium concentrations in the blood and in controlling blood volume and blood pressure. Aldosterone is produced by the adrenal glands, located on top of each kidney, in their outer portion (called the adrenal cortex). Aldosterone stimulates the retention of sodium (salt) and the elimination of potassium by the kidneys.
