Circulating Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Activity in Kidney Transplantation: A Longitudinal Pilot Study

Abstract

Circulating ACE2 activity is measurable in KT patients and directly correlates with age, renal allograft and liver function parameters. These findings suggest that measurement of serum ACE2 may be used as a non-invasive marker to understand the role of the renin-angiotensin system in KT patients.
