Confounders of the aldosterone-to-renin ratio when used as a screening test in hypertensive patients: A critical analysis of the literature

Gregory P. Veldhuizen et al.

Summary: The aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) is a common screening test for primary aldosteronism in hypertensives. However, there are many factors which could confound the ARR test result and reduce the accuracy of this test. Our analysis revealed that sex, age, posture, and sodium-intake influence the ARR, whereas assay techniques do not. Race and body mass index have an uncertain effect on the ARR. We conclude that several factors can affect the ARR. Not taking these factors into account could lead to misinterpretation of the ARR.

The effect of medication on the aldosterone-to-renin ratio. A critical review of the literature

Rawan M. Alnazer et al.

Summary: Many commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications have significant effects on renin, aldosterone, and resulting ARR values, but the magnitude of these effects is poorly quantifiable with the present level of research. Standardization of the medications used during ARR measurement is advisable for a reliable and accurate interpretation. Further research is needed to optimize these medications.
