Purpose:
The ACE test measures the level of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the blood. ACE is an enzyme that helps regulate blood pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. Elevated ACE levels are often associated with conditions like sarcoidosis, which causes inflammation in tissues, especially in the lungs and lymph nodes. This test helps diagnose and monitor sarcoidosis and may also be used to assess other conditions that affect the immune system and cause granuloma formation.

Components Measured:

• ACE Levels: The concentration of angiotensin-converting enzyme in the blood.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Fasting Requirements:
Fasting is generally not required for the ACE test. However, follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions if necessary.

Preparation:

• Medications: Let your healthcare provider know about any medications or supplements you are taking, as certain drugs (e.g., ACE inhibitors) can affect test results.
• Other Factors: Factors such as underlying medical conditions or recent infections may influence ACE levels. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.

Collection Method:
A blood sample will be drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle.
