Aldosterone – 24 Hour Urine Test (BC0028)

Description

Aldosterone – 24 Hour Urine Test is a specialized endocrine laboratory test used to measure the total amount of aldosterone excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. It is primarily used to help evaluate primary hyperaldosteronism (Conn syndrome), secondary hyperaldosteronism, adrenal cortical disorders, resistant hypertension, unexplained hypokalemia, renal hypertension, and disorders of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This test is commonly ordered in patients with high blood pressure with low potassium, suspected adrenal adenoma, adrenal hyperplasia, or salt-sensitive hypertension. The assay is typically performed using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on a 24-hour urine collection. Labcorp notes the test is useful for studying the adrenocortical-renin-angiotensin system, evaluating Conn syndrome, and assessing hypokalemia with hypertension, while Mayo Clinic Laboratories lists it as useful for investigating both primary and secondary aldosteronism. Urinary aldosterone results must be interpreted carefully and are often combined with urine sodium, plasma renin, serum aldosterone, and clinical context for accurate diagnosis.
