The diagnostic role of glycosaminoglycans in pleural effusions: A pilot study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2009
Background Pleural effusions are classified into transudates and exudates. Various criteria have been used with Light's et al being the most accepted ones. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been detected during pleural fluids (PF) analysis in various causes.

Diagnostic Reliability of Pleural Fluid Protein Estimation

, 1979
In a series of 86 elderly patients the measurement of pleural fluid protein was found to be of limited value in distinguishing exudates from transudates, although levels above 49 gil were all found to be exudates. However, the difference in mean pleural

Validity of pleural lactate dehydrogenase measurements in assessment of pleural effusions [PDF]

Universa Medicina, 2012
Background Pleural effusions are classified into transudates and exudates based on Light’s criteria, but the main disadvantage of Light’s criteria is the misclassification of transudates as exudates in about 20% of cases.

Clinical Implications and Research Progress of Salivary Biomarkers for Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 6561-6575, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Similar to blood, saliva contains a broad range of biomarkers and may offer a non‐invasive, repeatable specimen for endocrine and metabolic assessment. This review aims to synthesise and evaluate recent advances in the clinical translation of salivary biomarkers, while providing a critical assessment of the diagnostic reliability and ...

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 ...

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 ...
