Test Code

Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme involved in purine metabolism and is closely linked to cell-mediated immunity, particularly T-lymphocyte activity. Measurement of ADA in serum reflects systemic immune activation and is used as a supportive marker in conditions such as tuberculosis, chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain hematological disorders.

Although serum ADA is less specific than ADA measured in body fluids (like pleural or CSF), elevated levels can support clinical suspicion of active TB, monitor disease activity, or assess response to treatment when interpreted with clinical findings, imaging, microbiology, and other laboratory tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is used as a supportive test for tuberculosis, chronic infections, and immune-mediated conditions.

No, it is supportive and not specific; results must be correlated with other tests.

No fasting is required.

It may indicate active TB, chronic infection, autoimmune disease, or immune activation.

Yes, especially in early or localized disease; normal levels do not rule out TB.

Yes, declining levels may help indicate response to therapy when used with other markers.
