Plasma aldosterone/renin ratio——a sensitive screening test and parameter for primary aldosteronism / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Plasma aldosterene/renin ratio (ARR) is a sensitive screening test and parameter for primary aldosteronism(PA).The use of ARR leads to a marked increase in the detection rate of PA in the hypertensive population.However,ARR remains a nonstandardized test,and the cutoff value of ARR used in the different studies is varied.Further and systematical studies are needed to improve the accuracy of the test.
