Lynn and all
I can only reply about Renin.
I would very much like to add Renin to complement Aldosterone in the Steroid Scheme, but I have two problems:
[1] when I have ask participants about how many of them might be interested, I receive a very modest response which is nowhere near enough to create a viable EQA service
[2] when I have asked those that did respond if they could help procure appropriate clinical material and assist with solving the problem of renin stability, I have not received any responses which then translated into practical help
This was a few years ago - if there are more of you out there now, and you can help with [2], then I would be pleased to think again and build the scheme.
Replies to me and not the list please - but I will post a summary here.
regards to all
