Use of pleural fluid ceruloplasmin in the differentiation of exudative and transudative pleural effusion

Lung India, 2015
Background: Differentiating into transudate or exudate is the first step in the evaluation of effusions. Light′s criteria is the standard but a significant number of transudates may not be differentiated based on these criteria. Acute phase proteins (APP)

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).
