The serum angiotensin II levels decrease significantly in patients with coronavirus disease 2019, and this decrease is correlated with lung damage.

There was no statistical significance between the serum angiotensin II levels measured at three different times (p > 0.05).

Angiotensin II levels were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The SPSS 24.0 program (Statistics Program for Social Scientists, SPSS, Chicago, IL) was used to analyze the data.

A total of 112 patients were included in the study, of which 63.4% of the patients were men.

The serum angiotensin II levels were statistically significantly lower in the patients with coronavirus disease 2019 compared with the healthy control group (p < 0.001).
