LaboratoryAldosterone [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma by Radioimmunoassay (RIA)
Definition
Aldosterone concentration measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and chemiluminescent immunoassay are well-correlated; however, they have different reference ranges. [PMID: 29115296] This term is for aldosterone measurement by RIA. For aldosterone concentration measured by immunoassay methods such as chemiluminescence, see [LOINC: 92897-8].
