It is a test to check for Tuberculosis (TB) of the lungs. No special preparation is required. It is not a definitive test but helps in diagnosis of TB
Adenosine Diaminase (ADA) test is done to check for excess of an enzyme known as adenosine deaminase (ADA) in our body. The excess production of this enzyme happens to fight the TB bacteria. When there is a TB infection in the lungs then there is excess production of this ADA enzyme which is required to activate the lymphocytes which are a type of White Blood Cells to fight the TB infection. This enzyme is found in the fluid collected from the lungs called Pleural Fluid.
