Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE)

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) is an important enzyme in the Renin – Angiotensin – Aldosterone cycle. A number of ACE inhibitors are used in the control of hypertension. ACE is most frequently measured in patients with suspected Sarcoidosis but elevated ACE levels are also encountered in a number of other conditions including histoplasmosis, alcoholic cirrhosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Hodgkin’s disease and hyperthyroidism.

This method is suitable for the quantitative determination of ACE in serum and heparinised plasma on automated and semi-automated analysers.  Applications are available on request. 

Calibrator is included in the kit but is also available separately.
