What is Direct Renin Test
The Direct Renin Test is a blood test that measures the level of renin in the bloodstream. Renin is an enzyme that helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. The test is typically performed by drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm, and the results can be used to diagnose certain medical conditions such as hypertension and kidney disease.

Who should do this test?
Patients with hypertension,Patients with suspected renal artery stenosis,Patients with uncontrolled hypertension should do this test
- Patients with hypertension: The direct renin test can help in the diagnosis of hypertension and its underlying causes. It measures the amount of renin in the blood, which is an enzyme produced by the kidneys that regulates blood pressure. An elevated level of renin can indicate primary aldosteronism, a condition that causes high blood pressure due to an abnormality in the adrenal glands.
- Patients with suspected renal artery stenosis: Renal artery stenosis is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys become narrowed. This can lead to hypertension and kidney damage. The direct renin test can help diagnose renal artery stenosis by measuring the renin level in the blood before and after the administration of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. A significant increase in renin level suggests renal artery stenosis.
- Patients with uncontrolled hypertension: If a patient is not responding to standard blood pressure medications, the direct renin test can help determine if the patient has secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension is high blood pressure caused by an underlying condition such as kidney disease, hormonal imbalances, or obstructive sleep apnea. The direct renin test can help identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
