Diagnostic Value of Serum Adenosine Deaminase
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
A developed colorimetric method for the determination of serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) is presented. The test was applied to 87 patients - 65 adults and 22 children with the following lung diseases: pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, sarcoidosis, bronchial asthma. The high activity of the enzyme was found in tuberculosis - up to 52,438 U/l. The highest values were reported in children with primary pulmonary tuberculosis - up to 114, 232 U/l. It is believed that along with the main diagnostic methods used in pulmonology, the study of adenosine deaminase may provide some information about the etiology of some lung diseases
