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 ...

The Acute-Phase Proteins Serum Amyloid A and C Reactive Protein in Transudates and Exudates [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
