ANGIOTENSIN II Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ANGIOTENSIN II test at a cost of AED 1250.0.
Test Details
The ANGIOTENSIN II test is a blood test used to measure the levels of angiotensin II in the body. Angiotensin II is a hormone that plays a key role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. This test is typically ordered to evaluate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which is responsible for regulating blood pressure.
It is often used to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), renal artery stenosis (narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys), and certain types of kidney diseases. The ANGIOTENSIN II test may be ordered if a person has symptoms such as high blood pressure, fluid retention, or electrolyte imbalances. It may also be ordered if a person is taking medications that affect the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, to monitor their response to treatment.
The test involves taking a blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm. The blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days.

Diagnosis and Next Steps
Abnormal levels of angiotensin II may indicate a dysfunction in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which can contribute to high blood pressure and other related conditions. However, it is important to note that angiotensin II levels alone are not sufficient to diagnose a specific condition, and additional tests and clinical evaluation are usually required for a definitive diagnosis.
It is important to follow any specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider before the test, such as fasting for a certain period of time or avoiding certain medications. It is also important to discuss the results of the ANGIOTENSIN II test with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate next steps or treatment options.
