The clinical utility of pleural fluid cholesterol as a parameter in differentiating exudative from transudative pleural effusion when compared to light’s criteria

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Pleural effusions are classified as exudate or transudate to guide clinical management. While Light’s criteria have been the standard for this differentiation due to their high sensitivity, their lower specificity can lead to potential ...

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.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Light’s Criteria, Alkaline Phosphatase, Total Cholesterol, and D-dimer in Differentiating Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusion: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

National Journal of Laboratory Medicine
Introduction: Pleural Effusion (PE) results from an imbalance between pleural fluid production and absorption. It may occur due to multiple aetiologies, including heart failure, infections, malignancies, and liver disease.

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
