Diagnosis and Management of Pleural Transudates

Archivos De Bronconeumologia, 2017
Various clinical trials have been published on the optimal clinical management of patients with pleural exudates, particularly those caused by malignant tumors, while little information is available on the diagnosis and treatment of pleural transudates.

Identifying transudates misclassified by Lightʼs criteria

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2013
Light's criteria combine three dichotomous tests into a decision rule that is considered positive if any one of the tests is positive. This strategy clearly maximizes sensitivity, although at the expense of specificity. Although Light's criteria identify 98% of pleural exudates, they misclassify about 25% of transudates as exudates. The way to overcome

Pleural fluid cholesterol: A promising marker to differentiate transudates and exudates

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care, 2021
Background: Categorization of pleural effusion into exudates and transudates is crucial for diagnosis and management. Light’s criteria are the most commonly used method but has its own pitfalls.

A new approach to pleural effusion in cats: Markers for distinguishing transudates from exudates

Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, 2009
Classification of pleural effusion (PE) is central to diagnosis. Traditional veterinary classification has distinguished between transudates, modified transudates and exudates.

Discriminating transudates and exudates in dogs with pleural effusion: diagnostic utility of simplified Light’s criteria compared with traditional veterinary classification

The Veterinary Record, 2020
Objectives To determine whether the simplified Light’s criteria (ie, pleural effusion lactate dehydrogenase concentration and serum total protein) can identify the pathophysiology of pleural effusion formation in dogs, and to assess whether these ...

Hepatic transudation barrier properties

Microcirculation, 2018
AbstractObjectiveFluid and protein continuously transude from the surface of the liver. Despite a common understanding that transudation plays a critical role in hepatic interstitial and peritoneal fluid balance, transudation from the entire liver has not been studied.
