What is the Direct Renin Plasma test?
Renin is an enzyme that helps to control your blood pressure, made by special cells in the kidneys. When the blood pressure drops too low or your body doesn’t have enough salt, renin gets sent into your bloodstream. This triggers a chain of reactions that creates a hormone called angiotensin and signals your adrenal glands to release another hormone called aldosterone. The process through which the body regulates blood pressure relies on both Renin and the hormone Aldosterone.
When is the Direct Renin Plasma test recommended?
It is recommended:To detect hyperaldosteronism (overproduction of aldosterone) or hypoaldosteronism (underproduction of aldosterone).To aid in diagnosing the cause of unexplained high blood pressure.
