| name | Aldosterone and renin concentration panel - Plasma | ||||||
| description | The aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR) can be determined by dividing the molar concentration of aldosterone [LOINC: 14586-2] divided by the mass concentration of renin (also known as active renin concentration or 'ARC') [LOINC: 35570-1]. ARR results above 130 pmol/ng indicate primary aldosteronism. ARR results between 100 - 130 pmol/ng are indeterminate and suggest a need for repeat testing.[PMID: 21912488] The ARR can also be determined by dividing the mass concentration of aldosterone by the renin activity in blood plasma [LOINC: 55151-5].[PMID: 15483077] | ||||||

| component | Aldosterone & renin concentration panel | ||||||
| property | - | ||||||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||||||
| system | Plas = Plasma | ||||||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||||||
