What is the ADA – Ascitic Fluid Test?
The ADA Ascitic Fluid Test measures the level of the enzyme Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) in fluid collected from the abdominal cavity (ascitic fluid).

The test helps doctors differentiate between tuberculosis-related ascites and other causes of fluid accumulation.
Who should take this test?
- Patients with ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdomen).
- Individuals suspected of having tuberculous peritonitis.
- Patients with unexplained abdominal swelling or pain.
- Evaluation of chronic liver disease or abdominal infections.

Preparation & Test Process
How to interpret results
The test measures the level of Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) in ascitic fluid.
High ADA levels may indicate tuberculous peritonitis or
certain infections affecting the abdominal cavity.
Normal or low ADA levels suggest other causes of ascites such as
liver cirrhosis, malignancy, or heart failure.
Results should always be interpreted along with clinical symptoms
and other diagnostic tests.
