What is ADA Adenosine Deaminase Ascitic Fluid?

This test measures the level of Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) enzyme in ascitic fluid, which is fluid collected from the abdominal cavity. Elevated ADA levels in ascitic fluid can indicate the presence of certain infections or inflammatory conditions.

Why is this test important?

The primary use of this test is to help diagnose tuberculous peritonitis, a form of tuberculosis affecting the lining of the abdomen. It can also be useful in differentiating between various causes of ascites, guiding appropriate treatment.

How to Prepare

No special preparation is required for the patient, as the sample collection is a medical procedure performed by a healthcare professional.
