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
