Discriminating Between Transudates and Exudates

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2006
The dichotomous classification of pleural fluid as a transudate or an exudate simplifies diagnostic efforts in determining the cause of pleural effusions. Multiple pleural fluid tests are available to discriminate between these two classes of effusions. Tests commonly used in clinical practice depend on the detection in pleural fluid of large-molecular-

Cholesterol in the separation of transudates and exudates

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001
The Light criteria represent the most acceptable method to separate transudates and exudates. However, approximately 10% of patients with transudates, especially those with congestive heart disease, are misdiagnosed with these criteria. To improve diagnostic accuracy, many biochemical markers have been proposed as alternatives to differentiate ...

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

Journal of Small Animal Practice
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 ...

Pleural Effusions: The Diagnostic Separation of Transudates and Exudates

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1972
Abstract In this prospective study of 150 pleural effusions, the utility of pleural-fluid cell counts, protein levels, and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) levels for the separation of transudates from e...

Discriminative Role of CT in Exudative and Transudative Pleural Effusions

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2010
by Abramowitz et al. [1] dealing with the clinical use of CT attenuation values and additional CT features in differentiating exudative and transudative pleural effusions. The authors reported that neither CT attenuation values nor additional CT features were able to discriminate exu-dative and transudative pleural effusions.

[A method of differentiating transudate and exudate].

Problemy tuberkuleza, 1991
A diagnostic value of pleural fluid alkaline phosphatase (AP) for transudate and exudate differentiation is shown. AP below and above 0.5 mumol/(ml.h) are characteristic of transudate and exudate, respectively.

THE GENESIS AND RESOLUTION OF PULMONARY TRANSUDATES AND EXUDATES

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1943
The existence of pulmonary edema is one of the first conditions that medical students are sure they have found. Listening to the chest in cases of cardiac decompensation, one hears rales of varying magnitude, and as one progresses toward the bases of the lungs the characteristic signs of edema may be lost. The student, being preternaturally alert, says
