The Effectiveness of Pleural Cholesterol Levels in Differentiating Transudate from Exudate and Comparison with Light's Criteria. [PDF]
Background: Differentiating exudative from transudative pleural effusions is essential for accurate diagnosis and management. Although Light’s criteria remain the standard diagnostic method, they may incorrectly classify a substantial proportion of ...

Background: Differentiating into transudate or exudate is the first step in the evaluation of effusions. Light′s criteria is the standard but a significant number of transudates may not be differentiated based on these criteria. Acute phase proteins (APP)

Diagnostic value of pleural fluid and serum C-reactive protein/albumin ratio in exudate/transudate, infectious/non-infectious pleural fluid discrimination [PDF]
As a new parameter, the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) has been shown to be more accurate than CRP and albumin alone in predicting the diagnosis and overall prognosis in cancer, sepsis, and vascular and non-vascular conditions.

Differentiation of Exudates from Transudate Pleural Effusion by Measuring Cholesterol and Bilirubin
Introduction & Objective: Differentiating exudates from transudate is the first step in examining pleural effusion. Moreover, it is a guide for determination of pathologic trend of background diseases and differential diagnosis.
