Lower circulating angiotensin II levels are related to the severity of preeclampsia and its risk as disclosed by a specific bioassay

AbstractPreeclampsia is characterized by an increased sensitivity to angiotensin II (Ang II). We herein assessed whether serum Ang II levels measured by a new developed bioassay are associated with preeclampsia, its severity, and the risk for developing this disease.Using a cross-sectional design, w
