Overview

Should not yet alter management of pregnancy-induced hypertension; leaves open mechanistic role of reduced angiotensin II in this cross-sectional association.

Structured PICO

Are circulating angiotensin II levels altered in women with pregnancy-induced hypertension compared to normal pregnancies?

Population

92 women, including women with pregnancy-induced hypertension (n=54), women with normal pregnancy (n=18), and non-pregnant women (n=20).

Outcome

Circulating angiotensin II levels measured by radioimmunoassaysurrogate

Women with pregnancy-induced hypertension have significantly lower circulating angiotensin II levels compared to those with normal pregnancies, resembling levels in non-pregnant women.
