Discriminating transudates and exudates in dogs with pleural effusion: diagnostic utility of simplified Light’s criteria compared with traditional veterinary classification

The Veterinary Record, 2020
Objectives To determine whether the simplified Light’s criteria (ie, pleural effusion lactate dehydrogenase concentration and serum total protein) can identify the pathophysiology of pleural effusion formation in dogs, and to assess whether these ...

Contemporary biochemical analysis of normal pericardial fluid

Heart, 2019
Objective Biochemical analysis of pericardial fluid (PF) is commonly performed for the initial assessment of PF, and the results are usually interpreted according to Light’s traditional criteria for the differential diagnosis of transudates versus ...

DUETS for Light's in separating exudate from transudate

Respirology (Carlton South. Print)
Fifty years since its inception, Light's criteria have aided in classifying pleural effusions (PEs) as exudates if 1 or more criteria are met. Thoracic ultrasound (US) emerges as a non‐invasive technique for point of care use especially if pleural ...
