Annaliese Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Does anybody know if its possible to get angiotensin II agonist autoantibody testing? Since my dys started in pregnancy and at the time i was labelled with atypical preeclampsia, i started doing research on preeclampsia. It turns out an angiotensin II agonist autoantibody is responsible for preeclampsia. Ive thought for a while now that i seemed symptomatically, to fit into the high angiotensin, low aldosterone group so i was quite alarmed when i saw that angiotensin II was involved in preeclampsia.

issie Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I wish we knew how. I recently posted about this too. There is a research paper that I posted that there can be a connection to ACE2 auto antibodies and those with connective tissue disorders (EDS???) and pre eclampsia. I think that for some of us it may be very relavant. But, haven't found a way to have it tested yet. Please let us know if you get this figured out. I was hoping that we'd have some answers from Mayo - but, haven't heard from the girl that is there this week. (Hope you're okay lemons.) She was going to attempt to talk to Dr. G about it. But, I don't know if she was sucessful or not.Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

issie Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Possible connective tissue disorders connecting to ACE 2 autoantibodies - or something to that affect. You can go into my profile and pull up my content and find it that way. Tell me what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julieph85 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I also developed atypical preeclampsia at the same time as pots at the end of my pregnancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
