This skill recommends simultaneous measurement of plasma renin and aldosterone in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) to determine the presence of mineralocorticoid deficiency. It is triggered when assessing for mineralocorticoid deficiency in PAI, such as in patients with unexplained hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, or salt craving despite glucocorticoid replacement.

The Endocrine Society recommends a standard-dose corticotropin (ACTH) stimulation test to confirm primary adrenal insufficiency when clinical suspicion arises from symptoms such as hypotension, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, or unexplained fatigue. Dosing is weight/age based: 250 µg for adults and children ≥2 years, 15 µg/kg for infants, and 125 µg for children <2 years.

Recommends diagnostic testing to exclude primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) in acutely ill patients presenting with otherwise unexplained volume depletion, hypotension, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, fever, abdominal pain, hyperpigmentation, or hypoglycemia (especially in children). Use when clinical suspicion arises from these suggestive signs or symptoms suggestive of PAI.

In patients with primary aldosteronism receiving mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist therapy, the guideline recommends titrating the MRA dose upward to raise renin when blood pressure remains uncontrolled and renin is suppressed. Consider this step when hypertension is not at goal despite MRA therapy and plasma renin activity (or direct renin concentration) is low.
