The Direct Renin Test, also known as Plasma Renin Activity (PRA) or Direct Plasma Renin Test, is a laboratory test used to measure the level of renin in the blood. Renin is an enzyme produced by specialized cells in the kidneys called juxtaglomerular cells. The test helps in evaluating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
The Direct renin Test cost is Rs.500, although it is now available for Rs.300 because of the offer.
