A low level is normal with generous dietary sodium intake or prolonged lying down before testing.
What does a high result mean?
A modest increase frequently follows low-sodium diets, hot weather, sweating, or prolonged upright posture.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Was testing posture (standing versus seated or supine) carefully documented?
- Does the aldosterone-to-renin ratio clarify this reading?
- Does this align harmoniously with my blood sodium and potassium levels?
Do you have a full blood test report?
