ACE

Product detailed description

The ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) test is a laboratory test that measures the level of ACE in the blood. ACE is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the renin-angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. Elevated ACE levels may be associated with certain medical conditions, such as sarcoidosis, a disease affecting the lungs and other organs. It can also be elevated in patients with chronic lung disease or granulomatous diseases. This test is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures to confirm a diagnosis of sarcoidosis, and it can also be helpful in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment for this condition. The blood sample is typically drawn from a vein in the arm.
