Katybug Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 You may want to do a search on here for angiotensin ii as I am pretty sure there have been several articles posted in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Ranges on your labs would be helpful. Things like cortisol, I am used to seeing a different measurement used, so don't know where it falls. The ACTH looks normal. Do doctors now order the ang II now?

andybonse Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 They are all normal apart from Angiotensin ii. Range is 20-40 and mine is 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/127/23/2336.full%C2'> This article that Rama posted recently discusses a bit about this topic in the section on hypovolemia and POTS. Interesting that the article is discussing low aldosterone and renin levels (in standing) with high angiotensin ll levels. That doesn't seem to fit with your particular pattern at the moment but wonder if they drew your blood while standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
