About this test
The Pleural Fluid ADA test measures adenosine deaminase levels in pleural fluid to help diagnose tuberculosis and other pleural conditions.
The Pleural Fluid ADA (Adenosine Deaminase) test is used to measure the level of ADA enzyme in pleural fluid, which is the fluid collected from the space around the lungs (pleural cavity).
Elevated ADA levels in pleural fluid are commonly associated with tuberculosis (TB) of the pleura, making this test an important tool in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleuritis. However, increased levels may also be seen in other conditions such as infections, inflammatory diseases, or malignancies.
Test Recommended For
- Individuals with pleural effusion
- Patients with suspected tuberculosis
- People with chest pain, cough, or breathing difficulty
- Individuals with unexplained fluid accumulation around lungs
- Patients advised for pleural fluid analysis
