Sarcoid uveitis is usually a presumptive diagnosis based on the simultaneous presence of uveitis and clinicoradiographic or histologic findings of sarcoidosis. The elevation of serum ACE in some patients with granulomatous uveitis is strongly presumptive of sarcoid uveitis even in the absence of these findings. Serum ACE may prove to be a useful indicator of ocular sarcoid in the absence of otherwise undetectable systemic disease.
结节病性葡萄膜炎通常是基于葡萄膜炎与结节病的临床影像学或组织学表现同时出现而做出的推测性诊断。在一些肉芽肿性葡萄膜炎患者中,即使没有这些表现,血清血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)升高也强烈提示结节病性葡萄膜炎。在没有其他无法检测到的全身性疾病的情况下,血清ACE可能被证明是眼部结节病的一个有用指标。
