Aldosterone is a hormone produced in the outer section of the adrenal glands. It plays a central role in the regulation of blood pressure, mainly by acting on organs to increase the amount of salt reabsorbed into the bloodstream and to increase the amount of potassium excreted in the urine.
Aldosterone also causes water to be reabsorbed along with sodium, which increases blood volume and therefore blood pressure.
Measurement is useful for investigating primary and secondary aldosteronism.
The most common cause of high levels is excess production, which could be from an adrenal tumor.
Low aldosterone levels are found in Addison’s disease, which is characterized by a general loss of adrenal function resulting in low blood pressure, lethargy, and an increase in potassium levels in the blood.
