Aldosterone and renin tests are used to evaluate whether the adrenal glands are producing appropriate amounts of aldosterone and to distinguish between the potential causes of excess or deficiency.
Aldosterone has been known for many years to increase sodium (Na +) reabsorption by the distal nephron. The present in vitro experiments investigated the effect of the hormone on calcium (Ca 2+) transport by the luminal membrane of the rabbit nephron, independent of any systemic influence.owever, aldosterone also enhances Ca 2+ reabsorption by the distal nephron. This was an unexpected finding because most of the Ca 2+ regulating hormones, such as parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, calbindin 28K, and angiotensin II act on the two cation transports in opposite directions.
