Combined Uric Acid and Cholesterol Pleural Fluid Levels as Biochemical Markers for Differentiation between Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusions [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Arts, 2022
Background: Pleural effusion results from an abnormal pathophysiological state of the equilibrium between pleural fluid formation and removal. Normally, pleural space contains about 10 ml of fluid on each side.

Computed tomography attenuation in differential diagnosis of transudative and exudative pleural effusions. [PDF]

Clinics (Sao Paulo)
Objective: Pleural effusion is a common medical problem. It is important to decide whether the pleural fluid is a transudate or an exudate. This study aims to measure the attenuation values of pleural effusions on thorax computed tomography and to ...

Docetaxel-Induced Serositis Mimicking Malignant Pleural Effusion. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions are common in patients with cancer. Although their development may signal progressive malignant disease, drug‐induced effusions are a rare and often overlooked cause of exudative pleural effusions. We describe a 50‐year‐old woman with recurrent granulosa cell tumor of the ovary who developed bilateral pleural and pericardial ...

Role of pleural fluid-serum protein carbonyl gradient in differentiating exudative and transudative effusions

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2020
Background: Pleural effusions often cause a diagnostic dilemma. The first step in the evaluation of pleural effusions is the distinction between exudates and transudates.

Computed tomography attenuation values of pleural fluid are useless for differentiating transudates from exudates

Spanish Journal of Medicine, 2022
Background and objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) attenuation values in differentiating transudates from exudates; a controversial issue in the literature.

Association of Light’s Criteria with Pleural Fluid Procalcitonin Levels and Ultrasound Thorax with its Impact on the Management of Pleural Effusion: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: Pleural effusion, the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space, affects around 1.5 million people every year. Light’s criteria is routinely employed to distinguish between transudative and exudative effusions based on the test ...

Role of Combined Pleural Fluid Cholesterol and Total Protein in Differentiation of Exudates and Transudates

Nepalese Medical Journal, 2020
Introduction: Light's criteria had been the standard method for distinguishing exudative and transudative pleural effusions which misidentify 15-20% of transudates as exudates.

Loculated transudate

Cukurova Medical Journal, 2020
The association between heart failure and phantom tumor has been well known for years. Because drainage mechanism exists in parietal pleura, phantom tumors generally localize between fissures. Loculated transudate in peripheral lung areas is extremely rare.

Lipoprotein profile of pleural and peritoneal transudates in dogs and cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022
Background Current diagnostic evaluation of transudative effusions rarely aids in identifying an underlying etiology. Lipoproteins in the fluid might reflect the site or nature of vessel involvement.
