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 ...

The clinical utility of pleural fluid cholesterol as a parameter in differentiating exudative from transudative pleural effusion when compared to light’s criteria

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Pleural effusions are classified as exudate or transudate to guide clinical management. While Light’s criteria have been the standard for this differentiation due to their high sensitivity, their lower specificity can lead to potential ...

Diagnostic Reliability of Pleural Fluid Protein Estimation

, 1979
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

Expression of YKL-40 and MIP1a proteins in exudates and transudates

, 2016
Background: YKL-40 is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein with a significant role intissue inflammation and remodeling. MIP-1a has chemotactic and pro-inflammatoryproperties, and is induced by YKL-40 in several lung disorders.

Ischemia modified albumin in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions

, 2011
SummaryThe differential diagnosis of pleural effusion often requires invasive procedures. Up to 25 percent of pleural effusions can remain undiagnosed with an unclear pathogenesis.

Evaluation of Serum and Pleural Levels of Angiopoietin-1 and Angiopoietin- 2 in Children with Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusions

, 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 ...
