The ADA (Adenosine Deaminase) Serum Test is a diagnostic blood test that measures the activity of the enzyme adenosine deaminase in serum. ADA plays an important role in purine metabolism and immune system function, particularly in the proliferation and differentiation of lymphocytes. Elevated ADA levels are commonly associated with certain infections and inflammatory conditions, most notably tuberculous pleural effusion, making this test valuable in the evaluation of suspected tuberculosis. Increased levels may also be observed in liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, malignancies, and other infectious diseases. Low ADA activity can indicate immune deficiencies. This test is typically used alongside clinical findings and other diagnostic investigations to support accurate diagnosis and patient management.
