Transudates in Malignancy: Still a Role for Pleural Fluid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Introduction: The aims of this study were to determine the distribution of transudates and exudates among pathologically proven malignant pleural effusions, and to demonstrate the necessity for cytologic studies in patients with a transudative effusion ...

Diagnostic value of Light’s criteria and albumin gradient in classifying the pathophysiology of pleural effusion formation in cats

open access: yes, 2016
The primary aim of this study was to assess whether human Light's criteria with the cut-off values previously published for cats are useful and superior to the traditional veterinary classification in diagnosing pathophysiology of fluid formation in cats

Hsp72 levels are elevated in exudative pleural effusions.

open access: yes, 2013
Hsp72 was measured in human samples by ELISA and levels compared between pleural fluid and serum (A), and transudates and exudates (B). A) Median Hsp72 levels were significantly elevated in pleural fluid compared to their matched serum sample (n = 20 for

Diagnostic Reliability of Pleural Fluid Protein Estimation

open access: yes, 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
