The Acute-Phase Proteins Serum Amyloid A and C Reactive Protein in Transudates and Exudates [PDF]
Mediators of Inflammation, 2006 The distinction between exudates and transudates is very important in the patient management. Here we evaluate whether the acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA), in comparison with C reactive protein (CRP) and total protein (TP), can be useful in ...

Efficacy of CT in diagnosis of transudates and exudates in patients with pleural effusion [PDF]
Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2014 PURPOSE:We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of multidetector computed tomography (CT) imaging in diagnosis of pleural exudates and transudates using attenuation values. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This retrospective study included 106 patients who were diagnosed

Transudates and exudates [PDF]
Thorax, 2002 Joseph et al have made a valuable contribution to the evaluation of pleural effusions.1 However, we would like to sound a note of caution. Throughout all the literature, including the study by Joseph et al , one message remains the same: no single test is diagnostic for transudates or exudates.2 Thus, overreliance on such a test can be very misleading ...

Dosagem de proteínas totais e desidrogenase lática para o diagnóstico de transudatos e exsudatos pleurais: redefinindo o critério clássico com uma nova abordagem estatística Determination of total proteins and lactate dehydrogenase for the diagnosis of pleural transudates and exudates: redefining the classical criterion with a new statistical approach [PDF]
Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2010 OBJETIVO: Propor um novo critério de classificação para a diferenciação entre exsudatos e transudatos pleurais através da dosagem de proteínas totais no líquido pleural (PT-LP) e de desidrogenase lática no líquido pleural (DHL-LP) exclusivamente, assim ...
