Description

General description

Aldosterone is a hormone in the mineralocorticoid family which stimulates sodium transport across cell membranes and assists in the maintenance of blood pressure and blood volume. Aldosterone levels in serum/plasma and urine are measured by LC-MS/MS for investigation of primary or secondary aldosteronism ranging from adrenal cortical hyperplasia to renovascular disease and Bartter′s syndrome.

Application

The d-isomer of aldosterone is considered to be the biologically active isomer.

Other Notes

Exists as an equilibrium mixture of the aldehyde and the hemiacetal.
