A member asked:
I have a slightly elevated angiotensin conv. enzyme the cut off was 53 and i was 64. does this mean i have sarcoidosis? and is that a fatal illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Sarcoidosis can be such a mild disorder that no treatment is needed or can be life-threatening. Most of the time simple treatments - not steroids - will control the disease. Workup for underlying causes/mimics is essential. Ace levels are meaningful only related to clinical symptoms. Rheumatologist should provide clarification.
