International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2010;31(2):111-112
Objective To observe the value of adenosine deaminase(ADA)in differential diagnosis of hydrothorax.Methods In this study,93 subjects were collected in the second Xiangya hospital from Oct 2007 to Mar 2008.The patients were divided into three groups.which were the malignant hydrothorax group,the tuberculous hydrothorax group and the transudative hydrothorax group.We measured the adenosine deaminase(ADA)in pleural effusion of every patients with continuous monitored enzymatic method.Results The values of ADA in the three group were(14.24±12.90)U/L,(49.36±15.75)U/L and(10.12±7.87)U/L,respectively.There were significant differences for the values of adenosine deaminase(ADA)among the three groups,For instance,The value of adenosine deaminase(ADA)in the tuberculous hydrothorax group was greatly different with that of the transudative hydrothorax group(P<0.01).Conclusion Detection of adenosine deaminase(ADA)has highly differential diagnosis value and can be as supplementary method to diagnose tuberculous hydrothorax.
