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 ...

Diagnostic Value of Uric Acid to Differentiate Transudates and Exudates
, 2000 Uric acid is known to be an end product of purine metabolism. Increases in uric acid may be found in clinical conditions associated with tissue hypoxia. We have investigated the value of uric acid to differentiate between a transudate and exudate.
