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 ResearchIntroduction: 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 ...

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.

Lung India, 2015 Background: Differentiating into transudate or exudate is the first step in the evaluation of effusions. Light′s criteria is the standard but a significant number of transudates may not be differentiated based on these criteria. Acute phase proteins (APP)

THE VESSELS INVOLVED IN HYDROSTATIC TRANSUDATION [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1932 The gradient of permeability which exists along the cutaneous capillaries and venules is accentuated and broadened in scope by increasing the venous pressure moderately. Under such circumstances transudation leading to edema takes place most abundantly from the venules.

Transudative Malignancy: Uncommon and Real
Cureus, 2023 Light's criteria are the cornerstone to differentiate exudates from transudates. The traditional literature states that malignant pleural effusions are rarely transudative; therefore, cytology tends to be low yield and not a cost-effective decision. This case describes an 82-year-old female who developed a transudative pleural effusion despite having ...

Pleural fluid serum bilirubin ratio for differentiating exudative and transudative effusions
Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2018 Background: In pleural effusion, differentiating exudative and transudative fluid is an important clinical evaluation. The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of pleural fluid serum bilirubin ratio in differentiating exudative and ...
