Originally we investigated the above condition by doing supine and ambulant Aldosterone to Renin ratios.This became eventually changed to doing one Aldosterone /Renin ratio .One of our clinicians is now talking about oral Sodium Chloride loading before measuring Aldosterone....urinary in this instance.Is there any benefit it Sodium Chloride loading before performing these diagnostic tests?
