Pleural Effusions: The Diagnostic Separation of Transudates and Exudates
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1972Abstract 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...

The separation of transudates and exudates with particular reference to the protein gradient
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2004The separation of pleural transudates from exudates, as the first step in the study of pleural effusions of unknown cause, is generally accepted as a useful practice. However, the optimal way to do this remains moot.New and more sophisticated biochemical markers have been proposed together, with new approaches to the interpretation of the results ...

Classification tree analysis for the discrimination of pleural exudates and transudates
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2007Classification and regression tree (CART) analysis is a non-parametric technique suitable for the generation of clinical decision rules. We have studied the performance of CART analysis in the separation of pleural exudates and transudates.Basic demographic, radiologic and laboratory data were retrospectively evaluated in 1257 pleural effusions (204 ...

Cholesterol in the separation of transudates and exudates
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001The 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 ...

Discriminating Between Transudates and Exudates
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2006The 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-

Pleural Cholesterol in Differentiating Transudates and Exudates
Respiration, 2009Two hundred and four patients with pleural effusion were studied to investigate the utility of Light’s criteria and pleural fluid cholesterol level (pCHOL) in the identification of exudative pleural effusion (EPE) and transudative pleural effusion (TPE). There were 48 TPE, 56 tumor, 47 tuberculous, 30 metapneumonic and 23 miscellaneous patients.

[A method of differentiating transudate and exudate].
Problemy tuberkuleza, 1991A 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, 1943The 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
