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]
Clin Respir JPleural 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.

Lactic acid and blood sugar in exudates and transudates
Kazan medical journal, 1934 The authors found that in exudates the lactic acid content is higher (4 times higher on average), and the sugar content is significantly lower (by 1/2 on average) than in blood. Increase of lactic acid occurs due to sugar glycolysis by enzymes of leukocytes (as a result, in exudates rich in leukocytes, higher amounts of lactic acid are found).

Transudates and exudates [PDF]
Thorax, 2002 Joseph et al have made a valuable contribution to the evaluation of pleural effusions.1 However, we would like to sound a note of caution. Throughout all the literature, including the study by Joseph et al , one message remains the same: no single test is diagnostic for transudates or exudates.2 Thus, overreliance on such a test can be very misleading ...

Diagnostic Accuracy with Total Adenosine Deaminase as a Biomarker for Discriminating Pleural Transudates and Exudates in a Population-Based Cohort Study [PDF]
Disease Markers, 2021 Background An initial step in the evaluation of patients with pleural effusion syndrome (PES) is to determine whether the pleural fluid is a transudate or an exudate.

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 ...
