What does ADA (Adenosine Deaminase), Serum Test measure?
The ADA (Adenosine Deaminase), Serum Test test measures the level of adenosine deaminase enzyme (ADA) in the blood or body fluids (like pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, pericardial fluid, etc.). ADA plays a key role in the immune system by helping regulate the function of T lymphocytes, which are vital for fighting infections. High ADA levels are typically associated with tuberculosis, as the body's immune response to the infection increases ADA production. Elevated ADA can also be seen in other diseases involving the immune system, such as certain cancers and immune deficiencies. On the contrary, low levels of ADA can indicate a weakened immune response, which may occur in conditions like immunodeficiencies or after immunosuppressive therapy.
Therefore, getting tested with the ADA (Adenosine Deaminase), Serum Test test helps doctors evaluate a wide range of infections and immune-related disorders.
