My ACE Score is 82 - What Does This Mean?

ACE levels can be elevated for heart issues, diabetic issues, and a few other things. Elevated ACE levels is not a Sarcoidosis indicator. That is a fallacy perpetuated by those uneducated in the world of Sarcoidosis. The ONLY way to diagnose Sarc is to do a biopsy and find cells that are either called "non-caseating" or "non-necrotizing" (different labs refer to the same condition with different terms) granulomas. Non-necrotizing/caseating means "not dying" and that is the key to a Sarc diagnosis VS any other granulomatus disease. All other granulomatus diseases have necrotizing/caseating granulomas. If you have skin rashes you think are psoriasis or eczema, get them biopsied. Most people don't think of the skin but it's really our largest organ. If you have chronic sinusitis without infection...have that checked. If they tell you you have fatty liver, insist on a biopsy because Sarc presents exactly the same on an image. So many "common" issues out there that are "assumed" to be something else. Even if no inflammation is seen, doesn't to mean it's not there. It's a defective immune system.

I was diagnosed with a lung biopsy. How do they know. Just because it wasn’t cancer. My ACE is low 28

Eyes are fine....I never heard of it before my ACE came back high....I'm trying to see what could mimic sarcoidosis....

Did they check your eyes? Lots of time that's where it shows up. Mine was found in my lungs on a scan they were doing for my heart. It was so weird; I had never even heard of sarcoidosis before!

My sarcoidosis was diagnosed from a biopsy of my lungs. I guess you’re saying they don’t know what to biopsy . I’ve never had my ACE checked, I’ve never heard of that.
