Diagnostic utility of pleural fluid/serum bilirubin ratio versus light’s criteria in differentiating exudative and transudative pleural effusions. A cross-sectional observational study.

Student's Journal of Health Research Africa
Background 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

HDL/LDL ratio: a useful parameter for separation of pleural transudates from exudates.

, 2005
The first diagnostic step in pleural effusions is the separation of transudates from exudates. We aimed in present study to investigate the value of HDL/LDL ratio for distinguishing between pleural exudates and transudates.

Is the pleural fluid transudate or exudate? A revisit of the diagnostic criteria [PDF]

Thorax, 2001
Pleural effusions are classified into transudates and exudates based on criteria developed in the 1970s. However, their accuracy has not been evaluated. We compared the performance of the pleural fluid absolute lactic dehydrogenase level (FLDH), fluid to serum ratio of LDH (LDHR), and fluid to serum ratio of total protein (TPR).

Negative Pressure Pulmonary Oedema With Pulmonary Haemorrhage Following Brief Neck Compression in an Adolescent

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
We report a case of negative pressure pulmonary oedema with features of concurrent negative pressure pulmonary haemorrhage (NPPH) following brief neck compression in an adolescent. This case shows that even brief neck compression can cause significant pulmonary injury, that chokeholds are an under‐recognised precipitant, and that concurrent NPPH may ...
