Diagnostic Reliability of Pleural Fluid Protein Estimation
In a series of 86 elderly patients the measurement of pleural fluid protein was found to be of limited value in distinguishing exudates from transudates, although levels above 49 gil were all found to be exudates. However, the difference in mean pleural

Validity of pleural lactate dehydrogenase measurements in assessment of pleural effusions [PDF]
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.

Levels of Cathepsins S and H in Pleural Fluids of Inflammatory and Neoplastic Origin
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 ...
