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]
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.

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 ...

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 ...

Diagnostic accuracy of thoracic CT to differentiate transudative from exudative pleural effusion prior to thoracentesis [PDF]
Respiratory ResearchBackground Computed tomography (CT) scan is commonly performed for pleural effusion diagnostis in the clinic. However, there are limited data assessing the accuracy of thoracic CT for the separation of transudative from exudative effusions.

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 ...
