Aldosterone LC/MS, Serum LabCorp

This test measures aldosterone levels, which can help identify potential causes of your symptoms like high blood pressure, dizziness, and low potassium, guiding your doctor toward the right diagnosis and treatment.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Dizziness: Abnormal aldosterone levels can affect blood pressure regulation, potentially leading to dizziness.
• Fatigue: Electrolyte imbalances caused by high aldosterone can contribute to feelings of fatigue and weakness.
• Headaches: High blood pressure, which can be linked to aldosterone issues, is a common cause of headaches.
• High blood pressure: This test directly assesses aldosterone, a hormone that significantly impacts blood pressure regulation.
• Low potassium: High aldosterone levels can cause the body to lose potassium, leading to low potassium levels.
• Muscle weakness: Low potassium, often caused by excess aldosterone, can result in muscle weakness.
