Aldosterone
Aldosterone is the principal mineralocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. It has two important functions which are the regulation of the extracellular liquid volume and of potassium metabolism. The determination of aldosterone levels aid in diagnosis can be used as an aid in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism and hypoaldosteronism.
