Aldosterone (Upright) Price in Bangladesh

What is Aldosterone (Upright)?

The Aldosterone (Upright) Test measures the level of aldosterone in the blood while the patient is standing (upright). This test is used to assess aldosterone production in response to positional changes, as aldosterone levels naturally rise when a person stands up to help regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance.

It is commonly used to diagnose conditions like primary aldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome), adrenal tumors, or hypertension. The test requires the patient to stand for about 30 minutes before the blood sample is collected.

Risks are minimal, with discomfort primarily from the blood draw. Elevated levels can suggest adrenal overactivity, while low levels may indicate adrenal insufficiency.

What to expect & how to prepare

Aldosterone (Upright) is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Aldosterone (Upright) result rather than self-diagnosing.
