Evaluation of Serum Adenosine Deaminase Changes Before and After Treatment in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Henoch-Schonlein Purpura and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Abstract: Background: Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a purine metabolism enzyme that can be used as an indicator of cellular immunity for monitoring of inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of serum adenosine deaminase before and after treatment in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) and juvenile idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Methods: The study comprised 103 patients with JIA, 17 with SLE and 30 HSP. The serum ADA was measured of all patients… Show more

“…Due to this fact, it has been used as a marker of cell-mediated immunity [ 15 , 16 ] and chronic inflammation [ 17 ]. Several diseases have been reported to increase serum ADA activity in humans, including inflammation such as chronic tonsillitis, rhinosinusitis or otitis media [ 4 ], immune mediated disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus [ 18 , 19 ] or rheumatoid arthritis [ 20 ], and malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia [ 21 ], breast cancer [ 22 ] or bladder cancer [ 23 ]. However, the response of both isoenzymes could be different as observed in some diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, in which ADA2 increases, whereas ADA1 does not [ 20 ].…”

“…Due to this fact, it has been used as a marker of cell-mediated immunity [15,16] and in ammation [17]. Several diseases have been reported to increase serum ADA activity in humans, including in ammation such as chronic tonsillitis, rhinosinusitis or otitis media [4], immune mediated disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus [18,19] or rheumatoid arthritis [20], and malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia [21], breast cancer [22] or bladder cancer [23]. However, the response of both isoenzymes could be different since some diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis ADA2 increase due to chronic in ammation, whereas ADA1 does not increase [20].…”

“…Also, serum ADA is widely used to differentiate between various infectious and malignant conditions in body fluids (23)(24)(25). Moreover, ADA has been suggested as an alternative parameter representing disease activity in systemic lupus erythematous, Juvenile Idiopathic arthritis, and Behcet's Disease (18,20,26). Synovial fluid ADA can also differentiate between RA and non-inflammatory arthritis (27).…”
