Summary:A practical radioimmunoassay for plasma angiotensin-II concentration is described and discussed in detail. This method can be performed in any major nonspecialized clinical laboratory. Assay-reliability tests are carried out. Plasma renin activity, plasma angiotensin-II concentration, and plasma aldosterone concentration were measured in 12 patients during furosemide (Lasix®) administration.
