Background: The ratio of plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity (PRA) is
considered the screening test of choice for primary aldosteronism. Uncertainty exists …

Objective To determine whether the calculated ratio of plasma aldosterone concentration
(PAC) to plasma renin activity (PRA), a proposed screening test for primary aldosteronism …

Objective. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to establish the test
characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios at different cutoff values) of the …

Background: The aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) is a widely used screening test for
primary aldosteronism. Current guidelines recommend a cut-off value of 91 pmol/mU …

Background: The value of the ratio of plasma aldosterone concentration (aldosterone) to
plasma renin activity (renin) to identify patients at risk for primary aldosteronism is …

Background The upright serum aldosterone/upright plasma renin activity ratio (ARR) has
been recommended as a screening tool for the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism …

Recent reviews recommended the use of the aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) to screen for
primary hyperaldosteronism. However, widely different cutoff levels have been proposed …

The plasma aldosterone concentration: renin ratio (ARR) is widely used for the screening of
primary aldosteronism, but its reproducibility is unknown. We, therefore, investigated the …

The traditional workup for primary aldosteronism is cumbersome and requires discontinuing
antihypertensive medications, which is inconvenient and potentially dangerous. A simple …

Since the introduction of the aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) as a screening test for primary
aldosteronism (PA), there has been a marked increase in the reported prevalence of this …
