Title: ACE/ACE2 Ratio and MMP-9 Activity as Potential Biomarkers in Tuberculous Pleural Effusions Document date: 2012_10_17
ID: zlzig0nn_29
Snippet: Only a few reports have been published on the importance of ACE in pleural fluid. ACE could be detected in pleural fluid, but the ACE level cannot be used to discriminate cancer from non-cancer patients [16, 17] . Söderblom et al. [18] had also measured ACE in pleural effusions and sera of 364 patients and showed that tuberculous effusions contain higher ACE concentrations than any other type of non-rheumatoid effusions. These results indicate t.....
Document: Only a few reports have been published on the importance of ACE in pleural fluid. ACE could be detected in pleural fluid, but the ACE level cannot be used to discriminate cancer from non-cancer patients [16, 17] . Söderblom et al. [18] had also measured ACE in pleural effusions and sera of 364 patients and showed that tuberculous effusions contain higher ACE concentrations than any other type of non-rheumatoid effusions. These results indicate that ACE determinations may aid in differentiating rheumatoid and tuberculous pleurisy from other types of pleural disease.
