Hypertension & Adrenal Function Screening Package

What’s Included in this Package?

1. Blood Pressure Measurement

A quick, non-invasive assessment of your current blood pressure levels.

• Helps detect hypertension, hypotension, or irregular patterns.
• Forms the baseline for further hormonal analysis.

2. Free Metanephrine Test

Measures the byproducts of adrenaline and noradrenaline.

• Used to detect pheochromocytoma, a rare adrenal tumor that can cause severe spikes in blood pressure.
• Helps identify cases where hypertension is triggered by abnormal hormone secretion.

3. Plasma Renin Activity (PRA)

Evaluates how much renin, an enzyme from the kidneys, is being released.

• Renin plays a major role in controlling blood pressure and fluid balance.
• High or low levels indicate possible secondary hypertension due to kidney or adrenal dysfunction.

4. Adrenaline (Epinephrine) Test

Measures adrenaline levels in the blood.

• High adrenaline can cause rapid heartbeat, anxiety, sweating, and high blood pressure.
• Detects adrenal overactivity due to stress or adrenal gland disorders.

5. Aldosterone Test

Assesses the hormone that regulates sodium and potassium balance.

• Abnormal levels can lead to resistant hypertension, water retention, or muscle weakness.
• Helps diagnose primary aldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome).

6. Cortisol (Morning & Afternoon Levels)

Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone. Measuring it twice a day provides insight into adrenal rhythm and stress response.

• Morning cortisol: Indicates baseline adrenal strength and energy production.
• Afternoon cortisol: Detects abnormalities in hormone regulation, often linked to chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, or Cushing’s syndrome.
