ADA - Adenosine Deaminase - Peritoneal Fluid
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.

Higher ADA levels may indicate tuberculosis infection or other inflammatory conditions. Abnormal results require further evaluation.
A fluid sample of about 3 ml will be collected from you in a sterile container. The sample will undergo a biochemical method to measure ADA levels.
- Inform your doctor about any medications or medical conditions you have that may affect the test results. Also, tell them if you have any specific requirementsa
