Diagnostic utility of pleural fluid/serum bilirubin ratio versus light’s criteria in differentiating exudative and transudative pleural effusions. A cross-sectional observational study. [PDF]
Student's Journal of Health Research AfricaBackground Differentiation between exudative and transudative pleural effusions is fundamental for guiding clinical management. Light’s criteria remain the standard, though reports suggest misclassification in certain cases, necessitating exploration of

Computed tomography attenuation in differential diagnosis of transudative and exudative pleural effusions. [PDF]
Clinics (Sao Paulo)Objective: Pleural effusion is a common medical problem. It is important to decide whether the pleural fluid is a transudate or an exudate. This study aims to measure the attenuation values of pleural effusions on thorax computed tomography and to ...

Lactic acid and blood sugar in exudates and transudates
Kazan medical journal, 1934 The authors found that in exudates the lactic acid content is higher (4 times higher on average), and the sugar content is significantly lower (by 1/2 on average) than in blood. Increase of lactic acid occurs due to sugar glycolysis by enzymes of leukocytes (as a result, in exudates rich in leukocytes, higher amounts of lactic acid are found).

Diagnostic accuracy of thoracic CT to differentiate transudative from exudative pleural effusion prior to thoracentesis [PDF]
Respiratory ResearchBackground Computed tomography (CT) scan is commonly performed for pleural effusion diagnostis in the clinic. However, there are limited data assessing the accuracy of thoracic CT for the separation of transudative from exudative effusions.
