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 ...

Lipoprotein profile of pleural and peritoneal transudates in dogs and cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022
Background Current diagnostic evaluation of transudative effusions rarely aids in identifying an underlying etiology. Lipoproteins in the fluid might reflect the site or nature of vessel involvement.

Evaluation of biomarkers sTREM-1, procalcitonin and C reactive protein in the diagnosis of pleural infection [PDF]

BMJ Open Respiratory Research
Objective To measure the pleural fluid concentrations of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1 (sTREM-1), procalcitonin (PCT) and C reactive protein (CRP) to provide information for diagnosing and discriminating between CPPE and UPPE ...

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 Journal
Introduction 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.

Efficacy of CT in diagnosis of transudates and exudates in patients with pleural effusion

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2014
PURPOSE:We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of multidetector computed tomography (CT) imaging in diagnosis of pleural exudates and transudates using attenuation values. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This retrospective study included 106 patients who were diagnosed

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 ...

Accuracy of seven criteria based on cholesterol and lactate dehydrogenase for differentiating exudative and transudative pleural effusions [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Previous studies have proposed multiple diagnostic criteria based on cholesterol and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels to differentiate pleural exudates from transudates.

Association between echogenicity of ascites and its classification in dogs [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
BackgroundAscites in dogs results from a range of systemic and localized disorders. Early distinction between transudative and exudative peritoneal effusions, and between septic and non-septic exudates, is crucial for guiding emergency interventions and ...

Dosagem de proteínas totais e desidrogenase lática para o diagnóstico de transudatos e exsudatos pleurais: redefinindo o critério clássico com uma nova abordagem estatística Determination of total proteins and lactate dehydrogenase for the diagnosis of pleural transudates and exudates: redefining the classical criterion with a new statistical approach

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2010
OBJETIVO: Propor um novo critério de classificação para a diferenciação entre exsudatos e transudatos pleurais através da dosagem de proteínas totais no líquido pleural (PT-LP) e de desidrogenase lática no líquido pleural (DHL-LP) exclusivamente, assim ...
