Quantitative Value of Aldosterone‐Renin Ratio for Detection of Aldosterone‐Producing Adenoma: The Aldosterone‐Renin Ratio for Primary Aldosteronism (AQUARR) Study

Abstract

These results indicate that the ARR conveys key quantitative information that, if properly used, can simplify the diagnostic workup, resulting in saving of money and resources. This can offer the chance of diagnosis and ensuing adrenalectomy to a larger number of hypertensive patients, ultimately resulting in better control of blood pressure.
