    What Is the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test?

    The ACE test is a blood test used to measure the concentration of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), a protein produced by the cells lining the blood vessels, which helps regulate blood pressure. When ACE levels are unusually high, it may indicate a condition known as sarcoidosis. This disease causes the formation of granulomas—clusters of immune cells—in various organs, especially the lungs, which can lead to health problems. High ACE levels are found in around 50% to 80% of individuals with active sarcoidosis. If a doctor suspects that sarcoidosis is the cause of symptoms like a long-lasting cough, shortness of breath, or joint pain, they may recommend the ACE test.

    Elevated ACE levels are also associated with other conditions such as tuberculosis and exposure to specific chemicals. If high ACE levels are found, additional tests may be necessary to identify the precise cause.

    While ACE is naturally present in the body, ACE inhibitors, medications used to lower blood pressure by blocking ACE, may affect the accuracy of the test results.

    If you’re in Hyderabad and experiencing symptoms like a persistent cough, breathlessness, or joint pain, it may be worth considering an ACE test. It can help detect conditions such as sarcoidosis.

    Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test Parameters

    The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) test measures the levels of ACE in the blood.

    ACE is a specialised protein that plays a vital role in regulating blood pressure. It works by converting angiotensin I into angiotensin II, causing blood vessels to narrow and raising blood pressure. While most ACE is concentrated in the lungs, it can also be found in other parts of the body. Individuals under the age of 20 typically have higher ACE levels, but as people grow older, these levels naturally decrease and stabilise.

    ACE is also produced by particular cells when the body experiences infection or inflammation. These cells are part of the immune system and form small clusters called granulomas. Granulomas are often present in conditions like sarcoidosis, where they are mainly located in the lungs and other organs.

    Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test Preparation

    When scheduling an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme test, please note the following:

    Prerequisites Fasting is not required for the test.

    Best Time to Take the Test You can take the test at any time of the day based on your personal schedule.

    Who Should Get an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Test? The test is generally recommended for individuals experiencing unexplained shortness of breath, a persistent cough, joint pain, or unexplained changes in weight, as these may indicate conditions like sarcoidosis or other related health issues.

    Cautions Before Taking Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Test There are no special precautions necessary before taking the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme test.

    Why Take the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Test?

    The ACE test is used to detect sarcoidosis or other conditions that result in the formation of granulomas. These granulomas can appear in various organs, leading to a variety of symptoms. If you experience any of the following, the ACE test may be of help:

    • A persistent cough, difficulty breathing, or wheezing

    • Extreme tiredness

    • Unexplained weight loss or a lack of appetite

    • Chest pain

    • Joint stiffness or soreness

    • Vision problems

    • Dry mouth

    • Headaches

    • Unexplained skin changes, such as rashes, sores, or hardened areas

    • Fever

    The test is particularly significant for individuals aged 20 to 40, as this group is most commonly affected by sarcoidosis. Additionally, the ACE test can help differentiate sarcoidosis from other conditions that cause granulomas, such as infections.

    For those diagnosed with sarcoidosis and initially presenting with high ACE levels, repeating the test can be valuable in tracking the progress of the disease and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments.
