Hepatic transudation barrier properties

Microcirculation, 2018
AbstractObjectiveFluid and protein continuously transude from the surface of the liver. Despite a common understanding that transudation plays a critical role in hepatic interstitial and peritoneal fluid balance, transudation from the entire liver has not been studied.

Transudative effusions

European Respiratory Journal, 1997
Transudative pleural effusions develop because the distribution of hydrostatic and oncotic pressure across the pleura is altered, so that the rate of pleural fluid formation exceeds that of its reabsorption. They are characterized by a low cell and protein content. Congestive heart failure is the most common cause of transudative effusion.

Transudative Pleural Effusions

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1985
A transudative pleural effusion develops when the systemic factors influencing the formation or absorption of the pleural fluid are altered. The pleural surfaces are not involved by the primary pathologic process. The diagnosis of transudative effusion is simple to establish by examining the characteristics of the pleural fluid. Transudates have all of

Basic determinants of epicardial transudation

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1997
Myocardial edema formation, which has been shown to compromise cardiac function, and increased epicardial transudation (pericardial effusion) have been shown to occur after elevation of myocardial venous and lymphatic outflow pressures. The purposes of this study were to estimate the hydraulic conductance and osmotic reflection coefficient for the ...

Discriminating Between Transudates and Exudates

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2006
The dichotomous classification of pleural fluid as a transudate or an exudate simplifies diagnostic efforts in determining the cause of pleural effusions. Multiple pleural fluid tests are available to discriminate between these two classes of effusions. Tests commonly used in clinical practice depend on the detection in pleural fluid of large-molecular-

Diagnosis and Management of Pleural Transudates

Archivos de Bronconeumología (English Edition), 2017
Various clinical trials have been published on the optimal clinical management of patients with pleural exudates, particularly those caused by malignant tumors, while little information is available on the diagnosis and treatment of pleural transudates.

Identifying transudates misclassified by Lightʼs criteria

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2013
Light's criteria combine three dichotomous tests into a decision rule that is considered positive if any one of the tests is positive. This strategy clearly maximizes sensitivity, although at the expense of specificity. Although Light's criteria identify 98% of pleural exudates, they misclassify about 25% of transudates as exudates. The way to overcome

[Presumed transudative pleural effusion?].

Revue des maladies respiratoires, 1995
We report a case of recurrent transudative pleural effusion. The initial cardiovascular investigations failed to determine its cause. The catheterization showed a "dip-plateau" suggesting a restrictive cardiomyopathy. Endomyocardial biopsy finally proved a cardiac amyloidosis.
