Urology West Midlands EAG recommendations (based on NICE guidelines) for 2 week wait referrals based on PSA levels are:

Age (years)	PSA (ug/L)
< 40	use clinical judgement
40 - 49	> 2.5
50 - 59	> 3.5
60 - 69	> 4.5
70 - 79	>6.5
80+	use clinical judgement

Renin

From 1/3/18 renin samples are analysed using the IDS iSYS direct renin mass immunoassay which will use the following reference ranges:

Ambulatory: Female: 6.1 – 62.7 mIU/L, Male: 9.0 – 103 mIU/L

Supine: 4.2 – 59.7 mIU/L

Screen positive for Conns: Aldosterone/renin ratio >91pmol/mU + aldosterone >750 pmol/L

(Endocrine guidelines on the investigation of Conns https://doi.org/10.1210/jc.2015-4061)

The Aldosterone/Renin ratio cut-off that we are providing is a guide only and not a diagnostic test and the ratio should be interpreted, cautiously, in conjunction with relevant clinical information and medications that may affect the ratio.
