Although the aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) is the most reliable screening test for primary
aldosteronism, false positives and negatives occur. Dietary salt restriction, concomitant …

Background: The most popular screening test for primary aldosteronism is plasma
aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR). Because both estrogen and progesterone affect aldosterone …

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 …

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is defined as inappropriately high and (relatively or absolutely)
autonomous aldosterone secretion, which is not adequately suppressible by sodium …

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 …

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 In recent years, the assessment of the plasma aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR)
has become an established screening method for the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism …

abstract Background: Because primary aldosteronism is not uncommon, specifically
treatable and in some cases curable, and carries higher risks for cardiovascular morbidity …

Background: The most popular screening test for primary aldosteronism (PAL) is the plasma
aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR). Medications, dietary sodium, posture, and time of day all …

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