Pleural Fluid Analysis in Neutropenia [PDF]

Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2021
ABSTRACTLight’s criteria is the standard for determining the etiology of pleural effusions. Test characteristics of Light’s criteria varies in different populations, and Light’s criteria may misclassify effusions in patients with impaired immunity such as in neutropenia.

Milky Pleural Fluid [PDF]

Clinical 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

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

, 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.

Diagnostic utility of LDH measurement for determining the etiology of modified transudate pleural effusion in cats

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Fluid analysis is an initial approach for determining the underlying causes of body cavity effusions. Modified transudate is commonly diagnosed in pleural effusion in cats, however, it provides limited diagnostic information.
