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 ...

Validity of pleural lactate dehydrogenase measurements in assessment of pleural effusions [PDF]
Universa Medicina, 2012 Background Pleural effusions are classified into transudates and exudates based on Light’s criteria, but the main disadvantage of Light’s criteria is the misclassification of transudates as exudates in about 20% of cases.

National Journal of Community Medicine, 2014 Background: Pleural effusion is an excessive accumulation of fluid in the space lies between the lung and chest wall i.e. pleural space. In normal condition, pleural space contains 0.1–0.3 ml/kg body weight of fluid (near about of 10 ml of fluid on each

Levels of Cathepsins S and H in Pleural Fluids of Inflammatory and Neoplastic Origin
The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2009 Cathepsins S and H are present in immune cells and tissues and may play a role in the activation of an adoptive immune response. Our goal was to assess their protein levels in pleural fluids from 82 patients who underwent thoracentesis or thoracoscopy ...

Non-invasive characterization of pleural and pericardial effusions using T1 mapping by magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
, 2022 AIMS: Differentiating exudative from transudative effusions is clinically important and is currently performed via biochemical analysis of invasively obtained samples using Light's criteria. Diagnostic performance is however limited.

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2010 Besides massive expression in inflammatory pleural effusions, inflammatory markers are also present in cancer-induced pleural effusions. Recent advances in cancer biology point to a role of inflammatory signaling in cancer and encourage reconsidering the
