    Author: Zwoliński J, Jankowska E, Masiak M, Gajewska A, Podwysocki B.
    Journal: Pneumonol Alergol Pol; 1991; 59(11-12):35-9. PubMed ID: 1668875.
    Abstract:
    Serum ACE (s-ACE) activity were determined in 112 sarcoid patients and 60 healthy volunteers. The mean s-ACE activity in sarcoid patients were 39.5 +/- 14.1 U. and in healthy volunteers 22.1 +/- 3.6, U. Significant increase of s-ACE was seen in active sarcoidosis 51.2 +/- 13.7 U. Serum ACE activity increased twice or more in comparison with control values imply activity of the process. Serum-ACE determination may be of use as a prognostic factor in sarcoidosis.
