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 albumin gradient or fluid to serum albumin ratio better than the pleural fluid lactate dehydroginase in the diagnostic of separation of pleural effusion?

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2002
Background To determine the accuracy of serum-effusion albumin gradient (SEAG) and pleural fluid to serum albumin ratio (ALBR) in the diagnostic separation of pleural effusion into transudate and exudate and to compare SEAG and ALBR with pleural fluid ...

Bayesian analysis using continuous likelihood ratios for identifying pleural exudates

, 2006
SummaryStudy objectivesTo ascertain if equations that calculate continuous likelihood ratios (CLRs) for pleural exudates improve pleural fluid categorization, especially when false positive or false negative test results are obtained by using Light's ...

ACE/ACE2 Ratio and MMP-9 Activity as Potential Biomarkers in Tuberculous Pleural Effusions

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012
Objective: Pleural effusion is common problem, but the rapid and reliable diagnosis for specific pathogenic effusions are lacking. This study aimed to identify the diagnosis based on clinical variables to differentiate pleural tuberculous exudates from ...

Combined serum biomarkers in the noninvasive diagnosis of complicated parapneumonic effusions and empyema

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background We previously demonstrated that the pleural levels of proteins (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin/NGAL, calprotectin, bactericidal permeability-increasing/BPI, azurocidin 1/AZU-1) were valuable markers for identifying complicated PPE (
