Does anyone know if a urine test is better than a finger prick blood test for checking Aldisterone levels. I'm thinking of ordering from Medichecks.

Thank you Clutter,

I've researched and have found that an Aldosterone blood test is better than a urine test when done along with Potassium and sodium from same blood draw.
