ADA - Adenosine Deaminase - Peritoneal Fluid

50+ booked in last 3 days

Overview

Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme found in various body fluids including peritoneal fluid, which surrounds the organs in the abdomen. An ADA level test measures the concentration of this enzyme in peritoneal fluid. This test is done to help diagnose peritoneal tuberculosis, an infection of the lining of the abdomen caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Peritoneal tuberculosis can cause an increase in immune cells in the peritoneal fluid, leading to elevated ADA levels. However, an ADA level test is not always conclusive and should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests like bacterial cultures and imaging studies for a definitive diagnosis.
