Description
This test measures adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels in blood serum. ADA is an enzyme involved in purine metabolism and is important for the development and function of the immune system. Elevated serum ADA levels can indicate various conditions, including certain infections (particularly tuberculosis), immune disorders, and some types of cancer. The test is useful in assessing overall immune system function and can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and certain lymphomas. It’s often used in conjunction with other tests for a comprehensive evaluation.
