The hypertension triple report card refers to the venous blood test for renin, angiotensin and aldosterone, which is mainly used to identify secondary hypertension. If the results are within the normal range, they are normal; if they are outside the normal range, they are abnormal and are generally considered to be associated with secondary hypertension.
Normal reference values for these three indexes are as follows: renin: general dietary recumbent/standing: 0.07-1.51/0.33-5.15μg-L-1/h; angiotensin: general dietary recumbent/standing: 15-97/19-115ng/dl; aldosterone: general dietary recumbent/standing: 0.08-0.45/0.11-0.87ng/dl. Specifics should be based on the diagnosis of the doctor. The specifics should also be based on the doctor’s diagnosis.
1. Significantly elevated renin: It may be high renin hypertension, which is commonly caused by nephrolithiasis, resulting in excessive renin secretion from the adrenal cortex, causing secondary hypertension.
2. Significantly elevated aldosterone: It may be primary aldosteronism, in which aldosterone stimulates the kidneys to conserve sodium and excrete potassium, resulting in sodium and water retention and causing secondary hypertension.
3. Significantly elevated blood pressure tensin: blood pressure tensin can promote aldosterone synthesis, release increased, resulting in water and sodium retention, increased circulating blood volume to raise blood pressure, and this increased value can lead to secondary hypertension.
If the results of the three hypertension reports are not within the normal range, it is recommended to go to the cardiology department of the hospital in a timely manner, combined with more relevant examinations to identify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
