What does Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)-PUS measure?
The Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)-PUS test measures the activity of the ADA enzyme in pus. Increased ADA activity may be associated with certain inflammatory or infectious conditions, including tuberculosis-related infections. A healthcare professional may order this test when evaluating a suspected infection or abscess and considering tuberculosis as a possible cause. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, examination findings, imaging, and other laboratory tests.
