A Low Aldosterone/Renin Ratio and High Soluble ACE2 Associate with COVID-19 Severity

2021-07-24

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold> The severity of COVID-19 after SARS-CoV-2 infection is unpredictable. Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) is the receptor responsible for coronavirus binding, while subsequent cell entry relies on priming by the serine protease TMPRSS2 (transmembrane protease, serine 2). Although renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS) blockers have been suggested to upreg...
