What this test is

The aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) test measures the amounts of aldosterone and renin in your blood. Aldosterone and renin are hormones produced by the adrenal glands and kidneys, respectively, that work together to control blood pressure.

What it measures

  • Aldosterone — a hormone that regulates salt and water balance
  • Renin — an enzyme that helps regulate blood pressure
  • Aldosterone-to-Renin Ratio — a calculated value reflecting hormonal balance

This test requires a blood sample, which is typically collected through a standard venipuncture procedure. A healthcare professional will draw blood from a vein in your arm.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians may order this test to investigate the causes of high blood pressure, particularly when it is difficult to control or appears early. It can help identify potential issues with the adrenal glands or kidneys.
