About this test

The ACE test measures angiotensin-converting enzyme, an enzyme that helps regulate blood pressure. It is mainly used to evaluate sarcoidosis, a disease that forms inflammatory lumps (granulomas) in the lungs, lymph nodes, skin, and eyes.

Normal ACE levels are about 8–52 U/L in adults, varying by lab and higher in children.

High ACE is seen in many people with active sarcoidosis, and may also occur with Gaucher disease, hyperthyroidism, liver cirrhosis, silicosis, and tuberculosis.

ACE helps support diagnosis and monitor treatment, but is not diagnostic alone.

Questions about this test

When should I get the ACE Level test?

You should get an ACE level test if you have symptoms of sarcoidosis, such as persistent dry cough, breathlessness, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, red or painful eyes, skin rashes or bumps, or enlarged lymph nodes in the chest on an X-ray. It is also used to monitor sarcoidosis activity and treatment response.

How should I prepare for the ACE Level test?

Fasting for 8–12 hours is often recommended before an ACE level test, as fatty blood samples can affect results. Inform your doctor about ACE inhibitor blood pressure medicines (such as enalapril or ramipril) and steroids, as these can lower ACE levels. Don’t stop any medicine without your doctor’s advice.

Do I require fasting for the ACE Level test?

Fasting is often recommended for an ACE level test. You may be asked to fast for 8–12 hours, drinking only water, as a fatty blood sample can interfere with results. Inform your doctor about any ACE inhibitors or steroids you take, and follow your lab’s specific instructions.
