The diagnostic value of cholesterol in the differentiation of exudative and transudative pleural effusion [PDF]

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2007
Background and purpose: Pleural effusion is a common finding in many pulmonary or extrapulmonary diseases and its analysis is essential for differentiating transudates from exudates.

Expression of YKL-40 and MIP1a proteins in exudates and transudates [PDF]

, 2016
Background: YKL-40 is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein with a significant role intissue inflammation and remodeling. MIP-1a has chemotactic and pro-inflammatoryproperties, and is induced by YKL-40 in several lung disorders.

Pleural fluid cholesterol level is an important parameter in differentiating exudative from transudative pleural effusions [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The first important step is to decide whether the pleural effusion is transudate or exudates by Light’s criteria. Light’s criteria can misclassify 25% of pleural transudates as exudates.

Comparative Study of Pleural Fluid-to-serum Bilirubin Ratio and Light’s Criteria in Differentiating Exudative from Transudative Pleural Effusion

Journal of Applied Sciences and Clinical Practice
Introduction: Pleural effusion is a common diagnostic problem associated with significant morbidity. Its management mainly depends on the correct diagnosis of underlying disease.

Evaluation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in body cavity effusions from dogs, cats and horses [PDF]

, 2014
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity is often measured in human effusions to help in differentiating between transudates and exudates. Few studies have been performed using samples of effusions from animals. In the present study LDH activity was measured

Evaluation of Serum and Pleural Levels of Angiopoietin-1 and Angiopoietin- 2 in Children with Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusions [PDF]

, 2013
Objective: Angiopoietins are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of human diseases. We tried to evaluate the application of pleural and serum Angiopoietin-1 and 2 in categorizing pleural effusions (PEs) into exudates and transudates in children ...

The clinical utility of pleural fluid cholesterol as a parameter in differentiating exudative from transudative pleural effusion when compared to light’s criteria

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Pleural effusions are classified as exudate or transudate to guide clinical management. While Light’s criteria have been the standard for this differentiation due to their high sensitivity, their lower specificity can lead to potential ...
