Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance of Inflammatory Markers in Lung Cancer-Associated Pleural Effusions

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

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.

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

Prospective nalysis of the predictive value of sonographic pleural fluid echogenicity for the diagnosis of exudative effusion

, 2019
Background: Pleural effusion echogenicity on ultrasound has previously been suggested to allow identification of exudates. A case series suggested that homogenously echogenic effusions are always exudates. With modern imaging techniques and more advanced

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

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

Pleural fluid cholesterol level is an important parameter in differentiating exudative from transudative pleural effusions

, 2018
Background: The first important step is to decide whether the pleural effusion is transudate or exudates by Light’s criteria. Light’s criteria can misclassify 25% of pleural transudates as exudates.

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.

ACE/ACE2 Ratio and MMP-9 Activity as Potential Biomarkers in Tuberculous Pleural Effusions

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012
Objective: Pleural effusion is common problem, but the rapid and reliable diagnosis for specific pathogenic effusions are lacking. This study aimed to identify the diagnosis based on clinical variables to differentiate pleural tuberculous exudates from ...
