Aldosterone - 24 Hour Urine Test

The Aldosterone - 24 Hour Urine Test is a diagnostic procedure that measures the amount of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, present in your urine over a 24-hour period. This test plays an integral role in the investigation of possible adrenal gland disorders, particularly those related to the regulation of blood pressure and balance of electrolytes.

If your body produces too much or too little aldosterone, it can lead to imbalances that can cause hypertension (high blood pressure), low blood potassium levels, or other health problems.
