Overview

The Renin (Supine) Test measures the level of renin in the blood while the patient is in a supine (lying down) position. Renin is an enzyme produced by the kidneys that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. Abnormal levels of renin can indicate various medical conditions, including primary aldosteronism, renal artery stenosis, and certain kidney diseases. By assessing renin levels, healthcare providers can diagnose and manage these conditions effectively.

Risk of Assessment

Minimal risk associated with the test itself, although there may be slight discomfort or bruising at the site of blood collection. As with any blood draw, there is a small risk of infection or bleeding.

Ranges

0.5 to 5.0 ng/L

Interpretation

Interpretation of renin levels depends on the context of the patient's clinical condition and other laboratory results. Elevated renin levels may indicate conditions such as renal artery stenosis, primary aldosteronism, or renin-secreting tumors. Conversely, low renin levels may be seen in conditions such as primary hyperaldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, or certain forms of kidney disease.
