title: [Prognostic value of measuring serum angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) in patients with sarcoidosis].
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.
