Categorisation of pleural fluids in routine clinical practice:analysis of pleural fluid protein and lactate dehydrogenase alone compared with modified Light's criteria

, 2008
Modified Light's criteria are widely used to categorise pleural fluids as either exudates or transudates. These criteria include fluid/serum ratios and therefore require a blood sample.

Evaluation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in body cavity effusions from dogs, cats and horses [PDF]

, 2014
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity is often measured in human effusions to help in differentiating between transudates and exudates. Few studies have been performed using samples of effusions from animals. In the present study LDH activity was measured

The diagnostic value of cholesterol in the differentiation of exudative and transudative pleural effusion [PDF]

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2007
Background and purpose: Pleural effusion is a common finding in many pulmonary or extrapulmonary diseases and its analysis is essential for differentiating transudates from exudates.

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 (

The usefulness of pleural fluid alkaline phosphatase and its ratio to serum alkaline phosphatase levels in classifying pleural effusions as exudates and transudates and its correlation with light’s criteria [PDF]

, 2017
INTRODUCTION: Pleural effusion is a very common clinical presentation of diseases. A correct diagnosis of the underlying disease is essential for the management of pleural effusion.

Hsp72 levels are elevated in exudative pleural effusions.

, 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 accuracy of thoracic CT to differentiate transudative from exudative pleural effusion prior to thoracentesis

Respiratory Research
Background Computed tomography (CT) scan is commonly performed for pleural effusion diagnostis in the clinic. However, there are limited data assessing the accuracy of thoracic CT for the separation of transudative from exudative effusions.
