A STUDY OF SERUM ADENOSINE DEAMINASE LEVELS AND LIVER FUNCTION TESTS IN LIVER DISORDERS

Serum adenosine deaminase levels in hepatic disorders

The diagnosis of organ disease is aided by measurement of number of nonfunctional plasma enzymes characteristic of that organ/tissue. The amount of enzymes released depends on the degree of cellular damage, the intra-cellular concentration of enzymes, and the mass of the effected tissue. The concentration of enzyme released reflects the severity of damage. Once the presence of hepatic dysfuncti...

Relationship between serum adenosine deaminase levels and liver histology in autoimmune hepatitis

AIM To evaluate the relationship between serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels and histological features in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). METHODS A total of 80 subjects (52 AIH cases and 28 healthy controls) were included in the study. Patients were diagnosed according to the simplified criteria suggested by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group. All of the cases had been ...

Serum Adenosine Deaminase Activity and C-Reactive Protein Levels in Patients with Brucellosis

  Background and Objective: Brucellosis is a main transmittable zoonotic disease, which is endemic, and a common health burden in Iran. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an essential enzyme which is involved in purine metabolism and its role in immune system is very important. The aim of this study was to determine serum changes of ADA and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with brucellosi...
