Angiotensin Converting Enzyme near me in Agra

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme measures how much angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is present in your blood. ACE is an enzyme that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II helps increase blood pressure by helping the small blood vessels in the body to tighten or narrow.
This test is primarily suggested to help diagnose and monitor sarcoidosis, a disorder in which small nodules may form under the skin and organs throughout the body. The symptoms may include red watery eyes, cough or shortness of breath, and joint pain.
A lower than normal level of ACE may indicate cystic fibrosis and emphysema. While, increased levels with clinical findings is suggestive of sarcoidosis. Other conditions that may cause higher levels of ACE include cirrhosis, diabetes, and HIV.
