Comparative study of platelet angiotensin II binding and the angiotensin II sensitivity test as predictors of pregnancy-induced hypertension Philip N. BAKER, Fiona BROUGHTON PlPKlN and E. Malcolm SYMONDS Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University Hospital, Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, U.K. (Received 6 December 1991/12 March 1992; accepted 31 March 1992)
1. Platelet angiotensin I1 binding was measured in 34 primigravid women (between 28 and 32 weeks gestation), in whom the pressor response to infused angiotensin I1 was also determined. 2. There was a significant correlation between the platelet angiotensin I1 binding and the slope of the curve relating the diastolic pressor response to infused angiotensin I1 (P
