General description

Aldosterone is a hormone in the mineralocorticoid family which stimulates sodium transport across cell membranes and assists in the maintenance of blood pressure and blood volume. Aldosterone levels in serum/plasma and urine are measured by LC-MS/MS for investigation of primary or secondary aldosteronism ranging from adrenal cortical hyperplasia to renovascular disease and Bartter′s syndrome.

Application

The d-isomer of aldosterone is considered to be the biologically active isomer.

Other Notes

Exists as an equilibrium mixture of the aldehyde and the hemiacetal.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is an established cause of hypertension, whereas high-normal serum aldosterone levels have been linked to an increased risk for hypertension. We aimed to define the post-fludrocortisone-dexamethasone suppression test (FDST) normal cutoff values of aldosterone and the aldosterone
