Role of pleural fluid-serum protein carbonyl gradient in differentiating exudative and transudative effusions

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2020
Background: Pleural effusions often cause a diagnostic dilemma. The first step in the evaluation of pleural effusions is the distinction between exudates and transudates.

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.
