Aldosterone Plasma Test in UAE | 210 AED | DHA Certified
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
Test Overview & Methodology
The Aldosterone Plasma Test quantifies aldosterone hormone levels to evaluate adrenal gland function, aiding diagnosis of primary/secondary hyperaldosteronism, Conn’s syndrome, and blood pressure disorders. Our laboratory employs the highly sensitive CLIA (Chemiluminescent Immunoassay) methodology, ensuring precise and reproducible results.
| Feature | Our Test (CLIA, ISO 9001) | Closest Alternative (Standard Lab) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision & Methodology | Highly sensitive CLIA; strict upright posture protocol, drug interference exclusion | Often lacks ambulatory standardization; basic immunoassay |
| Turnaround Time | Same‑day reporting (sample by 11 AM Thu/Fri) | 48–72 hours |
| UAE Compliance | Full DHA/MOHAP standards, UAE PDPL, ISO 9001:2015 | Variable regulatory adherence |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a DHA-licensed General Practitioner, I emphasize that aldosterone results must always be interpreted alongside renin levels and clinical context. A single abnormal value does not confirm a diagnosis; medication adherence and proper patient preparation are critical for accurate assessment. Please contact our team for a complementary tele‑consultation to integrate these results into your personalized care plan."

Advisory – Medication Safety Warning
Medication Interference Precautions
Potassium-wasting diuretics, Spironolactone, Eplerenone, Amiloride, Triamterene must be discontinued ≥4 weeks; adrenergic blockers, Clonidine, Methyldopa, NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, Renin inhibitors, Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers ≥2 weeks. Only switch to permitted agents (Verapamil SR, Hydralazine, Prazosin, Doxazosin, Terazosin) under physician guidance. Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. Abrupt cessation of antihypertensives may trigger dangerous blood pressure surges.
Clinical Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Postural Nonadherence: Patient must remain ambulatory and upright for 2 hours before sampling; non‑compliance leads to falsely low aldosterone.
- Severe Electrolyte Imbalance: Hypokalemia or hyperkalemia must be corrected before reliable testing.
- Acute Illness: Defer test in the presence of fever, infection, or recent hospitalisation that may transiently alter RAAS.
- Pregnancy/Lactation: Physiological hyperaldosteronism may obscure results; consult endocrinologist for trimester‑specific ranges.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe dizziness, chest pain, palpitations, or sudden headache after posture changes – call 998 for UAE emergency services.

2. Is home collection available for this test, and does it meet cold‑chain standards?
Yes, our DHA‑licensed mobile phlebotomists perform hospital‑grade home collection from 8 AM to 11 PM using ISO‑certified cold‑chain transport to preserve sample integrity.
