Usefulness of pleural fluid uric acid and its ratio to serum uric acid levels in classifying pleural effusions as exudates and transudates and its correlation with light’s criteria [PDF]
, 2018 INTRODUCTION: Pleural effusion is a very common clinical presentation of diseases. A correct diagnosis of the underlying disease is essential for the management of pleural effusion.

Biochemical Analysis of Ascitic Fluid in the Differentiation of Transudate vs Exudate
Journal of Clinical and Biomedical SciencesBackground: Ascites is a common clinical problem resulting from certain abdominal or systemic diseases. The effusion is likely to be exudative or transudative in nature.

Hsp72 levels are elevated in exudative pleural effusions.
, 2013 Hsp72 was measured in human samples by ELISA and levels compared between pleural fluid and serum (A), and transudates and exudates (B). A) Median Hsp72 levels were significantly elevated in pleural fluid compared to their matched serum sample (n = 20 for

Evaluation of Serum and Pleural Levels of Angiopoietin-1 and Angiopoietin- 2 in Children with Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusions [PDF]
, 2013 Objective: Angiopoietins are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of human diseases. We tried to evaluate the application of pleural and serum Angiopoietin-1 and 2 in categorizing pleural effusions (PEs) into exudates and transudates in children ...

Evaluation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in body cavity effusions from dogs, cats and horses [PDF]
, 2014 Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity is often measured in human effusions to help in differentiating between transudates and exudates. Few studies have been performed using samples of effusions from animals. In the present study LDH activity was measured
