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 secretion is controlled by the RAA system and by concentrations of K+ in the circulation, which if increased evokes secretion of aldosterone. Reduced Na+ evokes renin release, which stimulates aldosterone secretion; aldosterone may be measured when evaluating hypertension.
