Understanding Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Chennai


What is Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Chennai?

The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme test measures the levels of Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the blood. ACE is an enzyme produced primarily by the liver and kidneys and a few other organs that helps maintain the renin-angiotensin system (RAAS) which is important for regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. This test helps diagnose and monitor granulomatous diseases like sarcoidosis,  a condition characterized by the growth of a tiny collection of inflammatory cells in various organs. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Chennai. 

The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme test is recommended when there is suspicion of sarcoidosis. It is also helpful in differentiating between sarcoidosis and other conditions with similar symptoms, such as tuberculosis or lymphoma. Additionally, this test helps monitor treatment response in individuals diagnosed with sarcoidosis.

No special preparation is required for this test; you may eat and drink as per your daily routine.
