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 ...

Diagnostic utility of pleural fluid and serum markers in differentiation between malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions

European Journal of Medical Research, 2009
Study objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of four different tumor markers: cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) in patients with malignant and non ...

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

Diagnostic value of the ratio of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase activity to serum adenosine deaminase activity in children with tuberculosis and non tuberculosis pleural effusion

MRIMS Journal of Health Sciences, 2014
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity was assayed in pleural fluid and serum of 78 subjects with pleural effusion. 48 of them had tuberculosis (TB) pleural effusion and the remaining 30 had pleural effusions due to non TB respiratory diseases.
