Aldosterone, Blood Test at Home in Dubai
Included
About the Test
This blood test measures the level of aldosterone, an adrenal hormone that helps regulate sodium, potassium and blood pressure. Aldosterone is often measured together with renin to work out whether the adrenal glands are producing too much or too little of it. Doctors typically request it when blood pressure is difficult to control, when potassium is unexpectedly low, or when an adrenal problem is suspected.
What is it? A blood test measuring circulating aldosterone, an adrenal hormone that controls salt, potassium and fluid balance, usually paired with a renin measurement.

Aldosterone, Blood test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Aldosterone, Blood test?
- Assess unexplained or treatment-resistant high blood pressure
- Investigate low potassium levels that do not have an obvious cause
- Support evaluation of adrenal gland disorders such as primary aldosteronism
How to prepare for the Aldosterone, Blood test
No routine fasting is required for aldosterone alone. However, posture, time of day, salt intake and several medications (including some blood-pressure drugs and diuretics) can influence the level, so your doctor may give specific instructions. Never stop a prescribed medicine without medical advice; simply tell us and your physician what you are taking.
Understanding your Aldosterone, Blood results
A raised aldosterone level, particularly with low renin, may suggest primary aldosteronism, while a low level can relate to adrenal insufficiency or other conditions. Because the result depends on renin, potassium and your medications, it should be interpreted by a doctor rather than read in isolation.
