In this work, the levels of aldosterone, angiotensin II, and various biochemical variables were measured in the blood serum of people with high blood pressure and compared to healthy controls. The levels of aldosterone, angiotensin II, urea, creatine, sodium, and potassium were estimated in high blood pressure patients. Statistical findings exhibited a noteworthy increase in aldosterone hormone and sodium rates in hypertension patients for both genders compared to the control group. Besides, the results displayed a substantial increase in the angiotensin II hormone and urea rate in male patients with hypertension compared to the control group; however, no considerable differences appeared in female patients compared to healthy people. The results exhibited a substantial decrease in the potassium rate. However, the results did not show a considerable difference in the creatine and uric acid rates in both genders, individuals with high blood pressure, compared to the control group
