Parameter
| Biomarker | Aldosterone | Full name | Aldosterone | Molecular Type | Hormones |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | C₂₁H₂₈O₅ | Molecular Weight | 360.44 | Core Functional Dimensions | Diagnosis, differential diagnosis |
| Disease | Adrenocortical Carcinoma | Disease Subtypes | / | ||
| Organ | Adrenal Cortex | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Serum/plasma (immunoassay) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | Tumor abnormal secretion of water and salt metabolism disorders, rare in adrenal cortical carcinoma, adenoma identification | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Clinical differential application: it is used for the screening of primary aldosteronism. Cancer patients are often accompanied by low renin and high aldosterone, and adenoma should be excluded in combination with imaging | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | Abnormal secretion is rare in cancer, and combined with renin detection can improve the specificity of etiological identification | ||||
