The ratios of aldosterone / plasma renin activity (ARR) versus aldosterone / direct renin concentration (ADRR)

The ratios of aldosterone / plasma renin activity (ARR) versus aldosterone / direct renin concentration (ADRR)

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is estimated to occur in 5–12% of patients with hypertension. Assessment of aldosterone / plasma renin activity (PRA) ratio (ARR) has been used as a screening test in patients suspected of PA.
