With The Runaway Effects Of Angiotensin Ii In Full Effect During Covid 19 Your Body Can Release More Bradykinin In An A 1 (105.55 KiB) Viewed 396 times

With the runaway effects of Angiotensin II in full effect during COVID-19, your body can release more bradykinin in an attempt to lower blood pressure. Bradykinin can make capillaries, particularly those in the lung, more permeable to fluid. Why would this be bad in the face of pulmonary hypertension caused by a cytokine storm (inflammation) that is part of COVID-19? More fluid in the lung caused by pulmonary hypertension and greater permeability would mean severe pulmonary edema, which would make it hard to exchange gasses between the alveoli and the blood More fluid would fill the smaller alveoli making surfactant activity greater It would lead directly to stiffening of the lung tissue and a restrictive pathology of the lung None of these answers are correct
