About test
What does ADENOSINE DEAMINASE ADA-CSF - INLAB measure?
This test measures adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). ADA is an enzyme associated with immune cell activity. The test may be ordered when evaluating inflammation or infection affecting the central nervous system, including when tuberculous meningitis is being considered. Results are interpreted along with clinical findings and other CSF tests, as ADA levels can be influenced by different conditions.
