Validity of pleural lactate dehydrogenase measurements in assessment of pleural effusions [PDF]

Universa Medicina, 2012
Background Pleural effusions are classified into transudates and exudates based on Light’s criteria, but the main disadvantage of Light’s criteria is the misclassification of transudates as exudates in about 20% of cases.

Levels of Cathepsins S and H in Pleural Fluids of Inflammatory and Neoplastic Origin

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2009
Cathepsins S and H are present in immune cells and tissues and may play a role in the activation of an adoptive immune response. Our goal was to assess their protein levels in pleural fluids from 82 patients who underwent thoracentesis or thoracoscopy ...

Is albumin gradient or fluid to serum albumin ratio better than the pleural fluid lactate dehydroginase in the diagnostic of separation of pleural effusion?

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2002
Background To determine the accuracy of serum-effusion albumin gradient (SEAG) and pleural fluid to serum albumin ratio (ALBR) in the diagnostic separation of pleural effusion into transudate and exudate and to compare SEAG and ALBR with pleural fluid ...

Norepinephrine concentrations in the epicardial transudate reflect early changes in adrenergic activity in the isolated perfused heart

, 2008
The aim of this study was to establish whether epicardial transudates could be used to uncover small, but physiologically important changes in interstitial NE concentrations under normal and pathological conditions.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance of Inflammatory Markers in Lung Cancer-Associated Pleural Effusions

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2010
Besides massive expression in inflammatory pleural effusions, inflammatory markers are also present in cancer-induced pleural effusions. Recent advances in cancer biology point to a role of inflammatory signaling in cancer and encourage reconsidering the

Association between echogenicity of ascites and its classification in dogs

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
BackgroundAscites in dogs results from a range of systemic and localized disorders. Early distinction between transudative and exudative peritoneal effusions, and between septic and non-septic exudates, is crucial for guiding emergency interventions and ...
