    What is a PRA- Plasma Renin Activity Test?

    Designed to detect Renin Activity test measures the level of renin produced by the kidneys. Renin plays a critical role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. When blood pressure decreases, or when sodium levels drop or potassium levels rise, the kidneys release renin into the blood. This enzyme acts as a hormone, helping to control the production of aldosterone, another hormone produced in the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys. Aldosterone helps stabilise blood pressure by balancing electrolytes, specifically sodium and potassium. Normally, if renin levels increase or decrease, aldosterone levels follow the same. Both renin and aldosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day, typically peaking in the morning, and can be influenced by factors like body position, stress, and medications. This test is valuable in diagnosing primary aldosteronism (PA), also known as primary hyperaldosteronism or Conn syndrome. PA is a condition characterised by excessive aldosterone production, which can lead to high blood pressure. If left untreated, this high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of serious health issues, including stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure. If you live in Mumbai you can check your aldosterone levels by getting the PRA- Plasma Renin Activity test at home., the Plasma test uses advanced methods.
