PRA Plasma Renin Activity near me in Sonipat

PRA, or Plasma Renin Activity, measures the activity of renin, an enzyme involved in regulating blood pressure. The test helps determine if your renin levels are too high or too low, which can indicate conditions such as hypertension or kidney disease. PRA is done for multiple reasons, including diagnosing and managing conditions related to high or low blood pressure; determining the effectiveness of treatment for hypertension, and assessing kidney function and detecting kidney diseases. PRA may be recommended if you have symptoms of high or low blood pressure, such as dizziness or fatigue; have a family history of hypertension or kidney disease; or are undergoing treatment for hypertension or kidney disease.

The normal range for PRA results varies depending on factors like age and medical history. Abnormal PRA levels can indicate conditions such as primary aldosteronism, renal artery stenosis, or adrenal gland disorders. Your doctor will interpret your results in conjunction with other tests to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
