To quantify the renal excretion of angiotensin II (AII) in birds, synthetic AII was intravenously infused into conscious Pekin ducks at rates of 5, 15 and 45 ng/kg/min for 30 min and the relationships between plasma and urine AII concentrations were monitored by radioimmunoassay. The infusions of AII produced dose-dependent elevations in the plasma concentrations of the hormone, however, urinary concentrations and excretion rates did not change significantly from the basal values of 11.6 +/- 1.2 pg/ml and 4.3 +/- 1.0 pg/min, respectively. The metabolic clearance rate of AII remained constant at each infusion dose (approximately 120 ml/min/kg). The urinary clearance rates (< 0.3 ml/min/kg) indicated that the fraction of AII cleared from the blood via the urine was less than 0.2%. Clearly, excretion of intact AII via this route is not a quantitatively important means of elimination for this hormone in birds.
