Shop - Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE)

The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) test measures the level of ACE in the blood, an enzyme involved in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance. Elevated ACE levels can indicate conditions such as sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, and certain types of histoplasmosis, as well as other granulomatous diseases. Conversely, low ACE levels may suggest other health issues. The test is often used to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of these conditions, especially in patients presenting with respiratory symptoms or unexplained granulomatous inflammation. A blood sample is required for this test, and no special preparation is usually necessary.
