Use of pleural fluid ceruloplasmin in the differentiation of exudative and transudative pleural effusion

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)
