Primary Aldosteronism Blood Test Measurement Study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study examines how different methods of measuring hormone levels in the blood help identify primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure). Researchers want to find the best cutoff values to identify patients who might benefit from surgery to remove part of the adrenal gland.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have high blood pressure or take blood pressure medications
- Your blood renin level is very low (≤1 ng/mL/hr)
- Your blood aldosterone level is elevated (≥10 ng/dL or ≥7.5 ng/dL depending on test method)
- Your aldosterone-to-renin ratio meets study criteria (>20 or >15 depending on test method)
- You do not have advanced kidney disease (eGFR ≥30)
- You are able to stop certain blood pressure medications for testing and undergo a saline infusion test

This study looks at better ways to diagnose primary aldosteronism when lab results suggest the condition but standard diagnosis criteria haven’t been met. It may help you understand what your hormone pattern means and whether you need specific treatment.
This study tests if a 2-day version of the oral salt loading test works as well as the standard 3-day test to diagnose primary aldosteronism (a common cause of high blood pressure). If effective, it could make diagnosis faster and easier for patients.
This study is developing a better blood test to diagnose primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands produce too much of a hormone called aldosterone, causing high blood pressure. Researchers are comparing results from healthy volunteers and patients suspected of having this condition to find the right cutoff numbers for the new test.
This trial tests whether a new drug called SAL0140 can safely lower blood pressure in people with primary aldosteronism, a condition where the body makes too much of a hormone that raises blood pressure. You'll take the study drug at different dose levels while your blood pressure and kidney function are monitored.
This trial tests whether a simple steroid-based test can help identify a specific type of high blood pressure called primary aldosteronism. If you have high blood pressure that needs medication, this study may help find a treatable cause.
This trial studies people with high blood pressure caused by a hormone problem called primary aldosteronism. If you qualify, the study may help doctors learn better ways to identify and manage this specific cause of blood pressure elevation.
