The present invention relates to one kind of adenosine deaminase activity detecting method and the adenosine deaminase diagnosis reagent for the detection, and belongs to the field of medical detection technology. Adenosine, single-valent phosphate, nucleoside phosphorylase, xanthine oxidase, peroxidase and reductive chromoplast are combined to form the main component of the diagnosis reagent. Through serial enzyme linked reactions, the colorless reductive chromoplast is combination oxidized into color dye, so that dye content may be determined with visible light analyzer at 400-600 nm and adenosine deaminase activity may be detected for the diagnosis of several diseases. Compared with available technology, the created dyes have relatively high molar extinction coefficient and thus the present invention has high sensitivity and high precision. In addition, the present invention has no contamination of endogenous matter.
