Reference range: 11–88 pg/mL (Source: ABIM)

Standard unit: pg/mL

High values may indicate

High angiotensin I levels typically reflect elevated renin activity, seen in renovascular hypertension, kidney disease, heart failure, dehydration, or use of diuretics and ACE inhibitors.

Low values may indicate

Low angiotensin I may indicate suppressed renin activity, primary aldosteronism (Conn's syndrome), or excess salt intake.
