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

Pleural Fluid Cholesterol and Lactate Dehydrogenase to Differentiate Exudates and Transudate and Comparing it with Light’s Criteria [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Light’s criteria is the routinely used criteria to differentiate exudative and transudative pleural effusion. It requires four biochemical parameters for estimation which may not be feasible in developing countries like India, due to ...

Significance of alpha-2-macroglobulin, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, and C-reactive protein in pleural effusion differentiation [PDF]
Background: The differentiation between exudates and transudates is fundamental when investigating the cause of pleural effusions. Acute-phase proteins could be potentially useful markers in this discrimination.

Transudate or exudate: can lactate dehydrogenase activity in canine and feline effusions help to differentiate between the 2? [PDF]
Background: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity is often measured in human effusions to help in differentiating between transudates and exudates. Few studies have been performed using effusion samples from animals.

Differentiation of Exudates from Transudate Pleural Effusion by Measuring Cholesterol and Bilirubin
Introduction & Objective: Differentiating exudates from transudate is the first step in examining pleural effusion. Moreover, it is a guide for determination of pathologic trend of background diseases and differential diagnosis.
