About test
What does DIRECT RENIN measure?
The Direct Renin test measures the level of renin, a hormone involved in regulating blood pressure and the body’s salt and fluid balance. It may be used to help evaluate possible hormonal causes of high or low blood pressure and to assess conditions affecting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Results are interpreted alongside clinical findings and, when appropriate, related hormone tests.
