A comparison of veterinary classification schemes, serum ascites albumin gradient, and Boyer's criteria in discriminating transudates from exudates in ascitic dogs

Objectives: To assess the parameters utilised by and the diagnostic performance of two traditional veterinary classification schemes (named A and B) based on ascites total protein and total nucleated cell count, the Boyer's criteria based on ascites ...

Prospective nalysis of the predictive value of sonographic pleural fluid echogenicity for the diagnosis of exudative effusion

, 2019
Background: Pleural effusion echogenicity on ultrasound has previously been suggested to allow identification of exudates. A case series suggested that homogenously echogenic effusions are always exudates. With modern imaging techniques and more advanced

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.

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

, 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.

Diagnostic value of Light’s criteria and albumin gradient in classifying the pathophysiology of pleural effusion formation in cats

, 2016
The primary aim of this study was to assess whether human Light's criteria with the cut-off values previously published for cats are useful and superior to the traditional veterinary classification in diagnosing pathophysiology of fluid formation in cats

Transudates in Malignancy: Still a Role for Pleural Fluid [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction: The aims of this study were to determine the distribution of transudates and exudates among pathologically proven malignant pleural effusions, and to demonstrate the necessity for cytologic studies in patients with a transudative effusion ...

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 ...

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.
