Why This Biomarker Matters

Abnormal angiotensin II levels indicate problems with blood pressure regulation and kidney function, both critical for cardiovascular health and disease prevention.

Overview

Angiotensin II is a hormone that regulates blood pressure by constricting blood vessels and controlling fluid balance. This test measures circulating angiotensin II levels in plasma. Elevated levels are associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, and kidney disease. The renin-angiotensin system is critical for cardiovascular health, and abnormal angiotensin II levels can indicate hypertension or problems with kidney function. This test helps assess cardiovascular and renal status.
