ACE

The ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) Test is a blood test used to measure the level of angiotensin-converting enzyme in the blood.

ACE is an enzyme involved in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. Elevated ACE levels may be associated with certain medical conditions, particularly sarcoidosis. This test helps healthcare professionals assess ACE levels and monitor certain inflammatory or granulomatous disorders.

What Does This Test Check?

• Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) levels in blood

• Elevated ACE enzyme levels

• Findings that may support the evaluation of sarcoidosis

• Changes in ACE levels during disease monitoring

Sample Requirements

• Sample Type: Clot or Serum

• Sample Quantity: 2–3 ml

• Test Category: Laboratory – Clinical Biochemistry

Patient Preparation

• Fasting requirements should be confirmed with the laboratory.

• Inform your healthcare provider about medications and supplements.

• Certain medications may affect ACE levels.

• Follow the laboratory's specific sample collection instructions.

Relevant Conditions

• Sarcoidosis

• Granulomatous Disorders

• Certain Inflammatory Conditions

Important Information

An abnormal ACE level alone cannot confirm or exclude sarcoidosis. Results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional alongside symptoms, medical history, imaging and other investigations.

Please confirm test availability and sample collection requirements with the laboratory before booking.
