The laboratory diagnostic approach to thoracic and abdominal effusions in the dog, cat, and horse [PDF]
Περιστατικά στα οποία διαπιστώνονται υπεζωκοτικές και περιτοναϊκές συλλογές είναι αρκετά συχνά στην κλινική πράξη. Ο καθορισμός της υποκείμενης αιτιολογίας σε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις βασίζεται κυρίως στην ανάλυση του υγρού της συλλογής.

Pleural fluid pseudocholinesterase and its ratio to serum pseudocholinesterase: For differentiating pleural transudates from exudates [PDF]
BACK GROUNND: The lights criteria is the system that has stood the test of time in classifying pleural effusions into transudates and exudates. But studies have shown that there is significant number of misclassification with the lights criteria ...

Evaluation of usefulness of pleural fluid/serum alkaline phosphatase in the diagnosis of tubercular pleural effusion [PDF]
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a common cause of pleural effusions, diagnosed by detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pleural fluid or biopsy specimens through microscopy, culture, or histological demonstration of caseating granulomas and acid ...

Diagnostic Value of Pleural Fluid Bilirubin / Serum Bilirubin Ratio Versus Pleural Fluid Protein / Serum Protein Ratio to Differentiate Exudative from Transudative Pleural Effusion [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Pleural effusion is the abnormal and excess accumulation of serous fluid in the pleural space. The first step is to classify them as transudates or exudates which is essential for the management of pleural effusion.

The clinical utility of pleural fluid cholesterol as a parameter in differentiating exudative from transudative pleural effusion when compared to light’s criteria [PDF]
Background: Pleural effusions are classified as exudate or transudate to guide clinical management. While Light’s criteria have been the standard for this differentiation due to their high sensitivity, their lower specificity can lead to potential ...

Comparison of Pleural Fluid Cholinesterase estimation Vs Abbreviated Lights Criteria in Diagnosing Pleural Effusions. [PDF]
BACKGROUND : Pleural effusions are collections of fluid in the pleural spaces. The major function of the pleura and the pleural space is to permit the lungs to expand and deflate within the chest.
