بررسی ارزش تشخیصی اندازه‌گیری آنزیم آدنوزین دآمیناز در مایع پلور، برای افتراق موارد بدخیمی و سل در مقایسه با بیوپسی پلور
Background & Aim: Pleural effusion is seen in the background of many diseases, two major groups of which are tuberculosis and malignancies. At present pleural biopsy helps us differentiate these two causes from each other, but it is not only an invasive method but also an expensive one. For this reason, investigators are in search of simple and less invasive methods to diagnose the cause of...
متن کاملPleural Effusion, Adenosine Deaminase (ada) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (ldh) Enzymes Level, Correlated with Cytological Evaluation
Background: Measurement of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzymes activity has gained increasing popularity as a diagnostic test for tuberculous and non-tuberculous pleuritis, especially in countries where the prevalence of TB is high. It carries a high sensitivity, inexpensive and easy. Objective: To demonstrate the diagnostic value of increased level o...
متن کاملIs adenosine deaminase in pleural fluid a useful marker for differentiating tuberculosis from lung cancer or mesothelioma in Japan, a country with intermediate incidence of tuberculosis?
The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of the determination of adenosine deaminase (ADA) level in pleural fluid for the differential diagnosis between tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) and malignant pleural effusion (MPE) in Japan, a country with intermediate incidence of tuberculosis (TB). We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 435 patients with pleural effusion ...
متن کاملAdenosine deaminase activity in rheumatoid pleural effusion.
The activity of adenosine deaminase was studied in nine cases of rheumatoid pleural effusion, showing an increase in enzyme activity in all. Rheumatoid arthritis seems unique, however, as it cannot be differentiated from pleural tuberculosis on the basis of this test. Selective increase of adenosine deaminase in both conditions is attributed to stimulation of T lymphocytes in the pleural fluid.
متن کاملAdenosine deaminase activity level as a tool for diagnosing tuberculous pleural effusion.
The yield for using a pleural fluid culture to diagnose tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) is low. Adenosine deaminase activity (ADA) has been shown to have good diagnostic value for TPE. The ADA cutoff point for the diagnosis of TPE is unclear. We attempted to determine the ADA level cutoff point for diagnosing of TPE in Thailand, where tuberculosis is endemic. We reviewed the medical records ...
متن کاملDiagnostic significance of adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in patients of pulmonary tuberculosis with and without pleural effusion
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest and commonest infectious diseases also known as “master of Death”. Pulmonary TB (PTB) and TB with pleural effusion remains a diagnostic challenge. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme of purine catabolism which is an inexpensive and easy test in early routine evaluation of patients with pleural effusion. Aim: To assess the diagnostic level of ADA in TB p...
