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.

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 ...

The diagnostic role of glycosaminoglycans in pleural effusions: A pilot study [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2009 Background Pleural effusions are classified into transudates and exudates. Various criteria have been used with Light's et al being the most accepted ones. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been detected during pleural fluids (PF) analysis in various causes.

Application of Computed Tomography (CT) Attenuation Values in Diagnosis of Transudate and Exudate in Patients with Pleural Effusion [PDF]
Journal of Gandaki Medical College, 2018 Background: Pleural effusion is the pathologic accumulation of fluid in the pleural space. The fluid analysis yields important diagnostic information, and in certain cases, fluid analysis alone is enough for diagnosis.

Diagnostic utility of pleural fluid/serum bilirubin ratio versus light’s criteria in differentiating exudative and transudative pleural effusions. A cross-sectional observational study. [PDF]
Student's Journal of Health Research AfricaBackground Differentiation between exudative and transudative pleural effusions is fundamental for guiding clinical management. Light’s criteria remain the standard, though reports suggest misclassification in certain cases, necessitating exploration of

Computed tomography attenuation in differential diagnosis of transudative and exudative pleural effusions. [PDF]
Clinics (Sao Paulo)Objective: Pleural effusion is a common medical problem. It is important to decide whether the pleural fluid is a transudate or an exudate. This study aims to measure the attenuation values of pleural effusions on thorax computed tomography and to ...
