Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):

1. What is included in the Thyrocare Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) Test?
The Thyrocare ADA Test measures the level of adenosine deaminase, an enzyme involved in the activity of white blood cells. This test is primarily used to help diagnose tuberculosis (TB), especially when TB affects body fluids like the pleura, peritoneum, or cerebrospinal fluid.

2. Who should opt for the Thyrocare ADA Test?
This test is recommended for individuals showing symptoms such as chronic cough, fever, unexplained weight loss, chest pain, or fluid accumulation in the chest or abdomen. It is particularly useful when TB is suspected in cases of pleural effusion or tuberculous meningitis.

3. Is fasting required before taking the Thyrocare ADA Test?
No fasting is required. The test can be performed at any time as it does not get influenced by food or fluid intake.

4. How is the sample collected for the Thyrocare ADA Test?
Depending on the suspected site of infection, a pleural fluid, CSF, or blood sample is collected by a healthcare professional. The sample is analyzed using enzyme activity measurement techniques in Thyrocare’s NABL- and ISO-certified laboratories. We provide home sample collection and a digital report.

5. What is the cost of the Thyrocare ADA Test?
The test is priced at RS 836.

6. When will I receive my Thyrocare test reports?
You will receive your digital test report within 10 to 24 hours after sample collection via SMS and email.

7. Is the Thyrocare ADA Test available across India?
Yes, the test is available across India, covering cities, towns, and rural locations. While blood-based ADA testing is available with home collection, fluid-based testing may require a hospital or diagnostic center setup.

8. What makes the Thyrocare ADA Test reliable?
Thyrocare uses automated analyzers, enzyme-based photometric methods, and stringent quality control systems to deliver accurate and reliable results in diagnosing TB-related conditions.

9. What do the Thyrocare ADA Test results indicate?

• Elevated ADA levels in body fluids may suggest tuberculosis, especially when supported by clinical symptoms.

• Normal or low ADA levels may reduce the likelihood of TB but are not conclusive.
  Results should be interpreted along with clinical signs, radiological findings, and other laboratory tests for a confirmed diagnosis.
