Serum aldosterone

Manufactured by Siemens

Serum aldosterone is a laboratory test used to measure the concentration of the hormone aldosterone in the blood. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands and plays a key role in regulating the body's sodium and potassium balance. This test can be used to help diagnose conditions related to aldosterone imbalance, such as primary aldosteronism or Addison's disease.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
