Comparative Evaluation of Pleural Fluid Cholesterol and Total Protein Versus Light's Criteria in Differentiation of Exudates and Transudates: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital [PDF]
The Clinical Respiratory JournalIntroduction Pleural effusions are very common clinical findings in clinical practice. Their proper diagnosis based on different parameters like pleural fluid protein, LDH, ADA, and cholesterol is very important.

The Acute-Phase Proteins Serum Amyloid A and C Reactive Protein in Transudates and Exudates
Mediators of Inflammation, 2006 The distinction between exudates and transudates is very important in the patient management. Here we evaluate whether the acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA), in comparison with C reactive protein (CRP) and total protein (TP), can be useful in ...

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 ...

Simplified Light’s Criteria and Acute Phase Proteins Reflect Aetiology of Feline Body Cavity Effusions Better than the Traditional Classification Scheme [PDF]
Animals, 2023 The traditional veterinary classification (TVC) of effusions based on cell count and total protein (TP) does not adequately reflect the aetiology. Light’s criteria (LC) (activity of lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] in the effusion [LDHef], effusion/serum LDH ...

Journal of Gandaki Medical College, 2018 Background: Pleural effusion is the pathologic accumulation of fluid in the pleural space. The fluid analysis yields important diagnostic information, and in certain cases, fluid analysis alone is enough for diagnosis.

Cukurova Medical Journal, 2020 The association between heart failure and phantom tumor has been well known for years. Because drainage mechanism exists in parietal pleura, phantom tumors generally localize between fissures. Loculated transudate in peripheral lung areas is extremely rare.
