Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)-Serum
What does Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)-Serum measure?
The Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) serum test measures the level of ADA, an enzyme involved in immune system activity. It may be used as part of an evaluation for conditions associated with immune activation, inflammation, or certain infections, including tuberculosis when considered alongside other clinical findings and tests. Serum ADA levels are not diagnostic on their own and should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of symptoms, medical history, and other results.
