The role of tumor necrosis factor alpha in differentiation between malignant and non malignant pleural effusion

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2016
Background: Despite the fact that Light’s criteria remain the gold standard approach in differentiating exudates from transudates, several fluid markers have been introduced for establishing the cause of pleural effusion to differentiate types of pleural

Evaluation of pleural fluid YKL-40 as a marker of malignant pleural effusion

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2015
The glycoprotein YKL-40 is synthesized both by cancer cells and by tumor-associated macrophages and plays a functional role in tumor progression. Consequently, high serum YKL-40 levels have been associated with a poor prognosis in patients with several ...

Clinical Significance of Pleural Lactate Measurement in Critically Ill Patients with Parapneumonic Pleural Effusion

, 2023
OBJECTIVE: Pleural fluid pH measurement is recommended for tube thoracostomy decisions in complicated parapneumonic pleural effusions. However, pleural fluid pH may be affected by blood pH in critically ill patients with common systemic acid-base ...
