What is adenosine deaminase 47.8 U/L?

Adenosine deaminase 47.8 U/L, the possible diseases are liver disease, blood disease and tuberculosis pleurisy, etc. The specific need to be analyzed in conjunction with other related examinations.
1. Liver disease: the liver contains a large amount of adenosine deaminase, when the liver cells are damaged, adenosine deaminase is often significantly elevated, and at this time, other liver enzymes such as glutamic oxaloacetic aminotransferase and glutamic alanine aminotransferase also appear to be significantly elevated at the same time. Common liver diseases that can cause adenosine deaminase elevation include acute liver injury, hepatitis, cirrhosis and so on.
2. Hematological diseases: lymphocytes contain a large amount of adenosine deaminase, when there are lymphomas and other hematological diseases, adenosine deaminase can often be significantly elevated, and at the same time, there are also visible disturbances in the composition of the blood cells, such as a significant increase in the number of lymphocytes, and so on.
3. Tuberculous pleurisy: tuberculous pleurisy will stimulate cellular immunity, cause the increase of lymphocytes, and then there is the elevation of adenosine deaminase in pleural effusion, and it is more than 45U/L. At this time, it is often accompanied by symptoms of tuberculosis toxicity such as low fever, night sweats, emaciation and other symptoms such as coughing, hemoptysis, chest pain, etc. It can cause adenosine deaminase elevation.
There are many reasons for the increase of adenosine deaminase, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, improve the blood routine, liver function tests and other related examinations, to make a clear diagnosis, and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
