Comorbidities of included COVID-19 patients (A). Plasma angiotensin 2 (AngII) and aldosterone levels were comparable in patients with COVID-19 versus healthy controls (B,C). AngII concentrations were similar between COVID-19 patients requiring ICU admission vs. those not requiring ICU admission (D). AngII levels significantly correlated with aldosterone levels in the COVID-19 cohort (p = 0.03) (E).
