About test
What does Pleural fluid analysis with ADA - INLAB measure?
This test measures adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels in pleural fluid, the fluid that can collect around the lungs. It may be used along with other pleural fluid findings to help evaluate the cause of a pleural effusion, including conditions associated with inflammation or infection. ADA results are interpreted together with medical history, examination findings, imaging, and other laboratory tests.
