Comparative Evaluation of Pleural Fluid Cholesterol and Total Protein Versus Light's Criteria in Differentiation of Exudates and Transudates: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital [PDF]
The Clinical Respiratory JournalIntroduction Pleural effusions are very common clinical findings in clinical practice. Their proper diagnosis based on different parameters like pleural fluid protein, LDH, ADA, and cholesterol is very important.

Expression of YKL-40 and MIP-1a proteins in exudates and transudates: biomarkers for differential diagnosis of pleural effusions? A pilot study. [PDF]
BMC Pulm Med, 2015 BackgroundYKL-40 is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein with a significant role in tissue inflammation and remodeling. MIP-1a has chemotactic and pro-inflammatory properties, and is induced by YKL-40 in several lung disorders.

Simplified Light’s Criteria and Acute Phase Proteins Reflect Aetiology of Feline Body Cavity Effusions Better than the Traditional Classification Scheme [PDF]
Animals, 2023 The traditional veterinary classification (TVC) of effusions based on cell count and total protein (TP) does not adequately reflect the aetiology. Light’s criteria (LC) (activity of lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] in the effusion [LDHef], effusion/serum LDH ...

Lactic acid in exudates and transudates.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1926 We have determined lactic acid in a number of serous fluids and in samples of blood taken at the time of paracentesis. Determinations were made immediately by the method of Clausen.The exudates all showed a considerably greater lactic acid content than that of the blood, the highest values and greatest excess being found in frankly purulent fluids and ...
