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.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone (mineralocorticoid family) produced by the outer section (zona glomerulosa) of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland. Aldosterone stimulates secretion of H + in exchange for K + in the intercalated cells of the cortical collecting tubules, regulating plasma bicarbonate (HCO 3 â) levels and its acid/base balance.
