The value of use of amino-terminal brain naturitic peptide as marker in cases of pleural effusion of different etiologies

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013
Background: The criteria of Light et al. have been used to make the differentiation between transudate and exudate effusion for the past 25 years. The main problem with those criteria is that although they identify nearly all exudates correctly, they ...

Intra- and extracellular markers in interstitial transudate of perfused rat hearts

, 1988
The interstitial transudate was investigated in isolated perfused rat hearts. Capillary permeability and the kinetics of interstitial uptake and release were characterized using four different marker molecules (mol wt 522 to 2 X 10(6)).

The distinction between transudates and exudates

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2005
The first step in the diagnosis of pleural effusions is the distinction between exudates and transudates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of various parameters for the differentiation of pleural exudates and transudates. We recorded clinical characteristics, final diagnoses, and measured pleural fluid and serum levels of albumin ...
