Diagnostic value of Light’s criteria and albumin gradient in classifying the pathophysiology of pleural effusion formation in cats

, 2016
The primary aim of this study was to assess whether human Light's criteria with the cut-off values previously published for cats are useful and superior to the traditional veterinary classification in diagnosing pathophysiology of fluid formation in cats

Assessment of Pleural fluid cholesterol & Protein in analysing Exudates & Transudates

, 2015
Introduction : Pleural effusion is defined as an abnormal and excessive collection of fluid in the pleural space. The most common cause in the West and India are infections followed by malignancy.

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

The usefulness of pleural fluid alkaline phosphatase and its ratio to serum alkaline phosphatase levels in classifying pleural effusions as exudates and transudates and its correlation with light’s criteria [PDF]

, 2017
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.

A comparison of veterinary classification schemes, serum ascites albumin gradient, and Boyer's criteria in discriminating transudates from exudates in ascitic dogs

Objectives: To assess the parameters utilised by and the diagnostic performance of two traditional veterinary classification schemes (named A and B) based on ascites total protein and total nucleated cell count, the Boyer's criteria based on ascites ...

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

Categorisation of pleural fluids in routine clinical practice:analysis of pleural fluid protein and lactate dehydrogenase alone compared with modified Light's criteria

, 2008
Modified Light's criteria are widely used to categorise pleural fluids as either exudates or transudates. These criteria include fluid/serum ratios and therefore require a blood sample.

Biochemical Analysis of Ascitic Fluid in the Differentiation of Transudate vs Exudate

Journal of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences
Background: Ascites is a common clinical problem resulting from certain abdominal or systemic diseases. The effusion is likely to be exudative or transudative in nature.

New lights in light's criteria

, 2015
AIMS: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based metabolome-wide association studies (MWAS) has been increasingly used in advanced laboratory medicine and biomarker discovery. Here, we will apply NMR-based MWAS to develop new diagnostic test for
