Combined Uric Acid and Cholesterol Pleural Fluid Levels as Biochemical Markers for Differentiation between Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusions [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Arts, 2022
Background: Pleural effusion results from an abnormal pathophysiological state of the equilibrium between pleural fluid formation and removal. Normally, pleural space contains about 10 ml of fluid on each side.

The role of pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase-to-adenosine deaminase ratio in differentiating the etiology of pleural effusions

open access: yesChinese Journal of Physiology, 2022
Exudative pleural effusion includes tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), parapneumonic pleural effusion (PPE), and malignant pleural effusion (MPE). An elevated pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) typically implies TPE, but the rule may not apply to ...

Pleural Fluid Resolution Is Associated with Improved Survival in Patients with Malignant Pleural Effusion

open access: yesLife, 2023
Malignant pleural effusion is associated with a poor prognosis and, while risk stratification models exist, prior studies have not evaluated pleural fluid resolution and its association with survival.

Role of pleural fluid “Cell Block” in malignant pleural effusion: Underutilized, sensitive, and superior over conventional fluid cytology; Does it will decrease need for thoracoscopy guided procedures?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Sciences and Clinical Practice, 2022
Background: Malignant pleural effusion missed routinely because of less diagnostic yield of conventional fluid cytology. Materials and Methods: Prospective multicentric study conducted during January 2014 to June 2016 in Venkatesh chest hospital, and ...

Milky Pleural Fluid [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 2016
A 90-year-old man was admitted for progressive dyspnea. His medical history included hypertension and chronic myeloid leukemia diagnosed 10 years before and treated with dasatinib. Physical examination revealed pitting edema of the legs and dullness to percussion in the right chest. Laboratory test results were clinically relevant for white blood cells

Negative Pleural Fluid Cultures among Patients with Pleural Effusion in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Nepal Medical Association, 2022
Introduction: A systematic approach to analysis of the fluid in conjunction with the clinical presentation allows clinicians to diagnose the cause of an effusion, narrow the differential diagnoses, and design a management plan.

Dynamic and volumetric variables reliably predict fluid responsiveness in a porcine model with pleural effusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: The ability of stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV) and global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness in presence of pleural effusion is unknown.
