Abnormal levels may be associated with conditions such as primary aldosteronism, adrenal gland disorders, hypertension, or electrolyte imbalances.

  • If there is high blood pressure that is difficult to control.
  • If there are low potassium levels (hypokalemia).
  • If an adrenal gland disorder is suspected.
  • If a healthcare provider is evaluating secondary causes of hypertension.
  • No fasting is usually required.
  • Salt intake and posture may need to be controlled before testing (as advised).
