An aldosterone test is done to: 1  Measure the amount of aldosterone released into the body by the adrenal glands. 2  Check for a tumor in the adrenal glands. 3  Find the cause of high blood pressure or low blood potassium levels.igh levels of both renin and aldosterone are normally present when the body is trying to conserve fluid and salt (sodium).
