The aldosterone-to-renin ratio test measures the levels of aldosterone and renin in the blood and calculates the ratio between the two. It is used to diagnose conditions like primary aldosteronism, where excess aldosterone production leads to high blood pressure and low potassium levels. A high ratio may indicate this condition, and treatment options include medications or surgery. Healthcare providers interpret the results alongside other clinical findings and tests.
