Renin, Plasma (Plasma Renin Activity)
Renin, Plasma (Plasma Renin Activity) is a clinical biomarker on the Kidneys panel, reported in ng/mL/hr. Standard reference range: 0.25–5.8 ng/mL/hr. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 0.6–3 ng/mL/hr.
What is Renin, Plasma (Plasma Renin Activity)?
Renin is an enzyme released by the kidney's juxtaglomerular cells in response to low blood pressure, low sodium, or sympathetic activation; it initiates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cascade that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (ng/mL/hr) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 0.25–5.8 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 0.6–3 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Renin, Plasma (Plasma Renin Activity)
SomaVue maps every result for Renin, Plasma (Plasma Renin Activity) against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
