ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME (ACE) in Fatehpur

What is an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test?

An Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test is a blood test that measures the level of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in your blood. This enzyme plays an important role in regulating blood pressure by helping convert angiotensin I into angiotensin II.

Doctors commonly use the ACE test to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation and the formation of small clumps of inflammatory cells (granulomas) in different organs. It may also be recommended to evaluate certain lung, liver, or immune-related conditions.

An ACE test is performed using a blood sample and provides valuable information when interpreted along with your symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic tests.
 

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test Parameters

The ACE Test includes:

• Serum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Level – Measures the concentration of ACE enzyme in the blood.

The test helps doctors:

• Support the diagnosis of sarcoidosis
• Monitor disease activity and treatment response
