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

Categorisation of pleural fluids in routine clinical practice:analysis of pleural fluid protein and lactate dehydrogenase alone compared with modified Light's criteria

, 2008
Modified Light's criteria are widely used to categorise pleural fluids as either exudates or transudates. These criteria include fluid/serum ratios and therefore require a blood sample.

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 ...

New lights in light's criteria

, 2015
AIMS: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based metabolome-wide association studies (MWAS) has been increasingly used in advanced laboratory medicine and biomarker discovery. Here, we will apply NMR-based MWAS to develop new diagnostic test for

Biochemical Analysis of Ascitic Fluid in the Differentiation of Transudate vs Exudate

Journal of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences
Background: Ascites is a common clinical problem resulting from certain abdominal or systemic diseases. The effusion is likely to be exudative or transudative in nature.

Expression of YKL-40 and MIP1a proteins in exudates and transudates

, 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.
