Malignancy in Disguise: Transudative Malignant Pleural Effusion from Early-Onset Lung Adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
J Investig Med High Impact Case RepMalignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are almost always exudative, with only an estimated 3–4% meeting biochemical criteria for a transudate. Light’s criteria remain the standard method for classifying pleural effusions, and transudative effusions typically

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

Transudates and exudates [PDF]
Thorax, 2002 Joseph et al have made a valuable contribution to the evaluation of pleural effusions.1 However, we would like to sound a note of caution. Throughout all the literature, including the study by Joseph et al , one message remains the same: no single test is diagnostic for transudates or exudates.2 Thus, overreliance on such a test can be very misleading ...

Role of C-Reactive Protein in Discrimination between Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusions
Diagnostics, 2021 Background: There is still no wide agreement regarding the efficacy of the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRPs), pleural fluid levels of CRP (CRPpf), and their ratio (CRPr) in the discrimination between transudative (Tr) and exudative (Ex) pleural ...

Tuberculosis Misdiagnosed as Bronchogenic Carcinoma: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT The patient, a 77‐year‐old male smoker, presented to the Emergency Department with dyspnea, cough, fever, night sweats, and 12 kg weight loss, initially suggesting COPD or lung cancer. Chest CT revealed a right upper lobe mass, pleural effusion, and lymphadenopathy, prompting suspicion of malignancy.
