Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the Plasma Renin Activity Test in Khambhat to assess the functioning of the adrenal gland.
Overview of the Plasma Renin Activity Test
The Plasma Renin Activity Test is done to check if there is any deregulation in aldosterone production by adrenal glands. Renin is a protease made by the kidneys that play an important lowering role in lowering blood pressure and renal perfusion. Along with aldosterone, it helps in maintaining a constant blood volume and blood pressure. Over-expression of renin by kidney cells causes too much fluid retention resulting in increased blood volume and consequently increased blood pressure.
Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers a reliable Plasma Renin Activity Test in Khambhat with timely reports.
