Pleural Fluid Cholesterol: A Promising Marker to Differentiate Transudates and Exudates

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care, 2021
Background: Categorization of pleural effusion into exudates and transudates is crucial for diagnosis and management. Light’s criteria are the most commonly used method but has its own pitfalls.

Evaluation of the applicability of Light’s criteria for differentiation of transudates from exudates across different serous fluids

The Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases, 2022
Background: Serous fluids like pericardial, pleural and ascitic fluids are frequently submitted for pathological evaluation. The differentiation of these fluids into transudates and exudates is the prime aim of the evaluation as this determines the ...

Combined pleural fluid cholesterol and total protein in differentiation of exudates and transudates.

Indian journal of chest diseases & allied sciences, 2022
BACKGROUND The management strategy to be adopted in pleural effusion depends on whether an effusion is a transudate or exudate. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of pleural fluid cholesterol and/or total protein measurements for differentiating ...

Role of Combined Pleural Fluid Cholesterol and Total Protein in Differentiation of Exudates and Transudates

, 2020
Introduction: Light's criteria had been the standard method for distinguishing exudative and transudative pleural effusions which misidentify 15-20% of transudates as exudates.

The distinction between transudates and exudates

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2005
The first step in the diagnosis of pleural effusions is the distinction between exudates and transudates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of various parameters for the differentiation of pleural exudates and transudates. We recorded clinical characteristics, final diagnoses, and measured pleural fluid and serum levels of albumin ...
