Clinical Information (ข้อมูลทางคลินิก):
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) participates in the renin cascade in response to hypovolemia. Its peptidase action on the decapeptide angiotensinogen I results in the hydrolysis of a terminal histidyl leucine dipeptide and the formation of the octapeptide angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure.
 
Reference Value (ค่าอ้างอิง):

> or =18 years: 16-85 U/L

0-17 years: ACE activity may be 20-50% higher in healthy children compared to healthy adults (16-85 U/L).

Necessary Information
The use of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibiting antihypertensive drugs will cause decreased ACE values. Patients taking ACE inhibitors, such as captopril and enalapril, will have extremely low or unmeasurable ACE activity. 

 

 
Interpretation (การแปลผล):
An elevation in the level of serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), along with radiographic evidence of infiltrates or adenopathy and organ biopsies showing noncaseating epithelial granulomas is suggestive of a diagnosis of sarcoidosis.

Serum ACE is significantly higher in most (approximately 80%) patients with active sarcoidosis. ACE is also elevated in a number of other diseases and in approximately 5% of the normal adult population.
