Serum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Patients with Psoriasis

Background: Controversial data concerning the elevation of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme in psoriasis are reported in the literature. In order to verify whether this abnormality exists in Iranian patients, we performed this study. Method: Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was measured in 40 psoriatics. According to clinical forms of psoriasis, patients were further divided into th...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Serum angiotensin converting enzyme levels in AIDS.

Serum angiotensin converting enzyme in pneumonias.

Serum concentrations of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) were studied in pneumonias caused by different pathogens and in cases in which the aetiology could not be defined. In all aetiological groups, except in viral pneumonia, there was a significant increase in ACE during recovery (p less than 0.001). In several patients the lowest values during the acute phase of disease and the highest va...

silica exposure and serum angiotensin converting enzyme activity

background: silicosis is known in industrial workers for centuries. till recently, the mainstay of its diagnosis and progress was clinical examination of the respiratory system, pulmonary function test and chest radiography. several biomarkers such as serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) activity have been examined to determine the extent of silicosis. objective: to elucidate the effect of...
