How much aldosterone is high enough to require treatment

The normal value of aldosterone has a relationship with the body position, ordinary diet, lying in 134.6-342.6 pmol/l, standing in 173.9-663.9 pmol/l, so, aldosterone lying more than 342.6 pmol/l or standing more than 663.9 pmol/l (specific range of recommendations for reference to the local hospital) need to specify the cause of the disease and treatment. 1. Primary aldosteronism: Aldosterone tumors or idiopathic aldosteronism are common, aldosterone tumors need surgical resection and treatment, and idiopathic aldosteronism can be treated with amphotericin. 2. Secondary aldosteronism: the triggering causes may include bilateral renal artery stenosis, chronic kidney disease with hypertension, and medication, etc. Bilateral renal artery stenosis may need to receive surgical treatment. If there is elevated aldosterone, it is recommended to check and treat under doctor’s guidance.
