A Novel Combination of Calprotectin and CXCL12 for Predicting Malignancy in Patients with Exudative Pleural Effusion
Pleural effusion (PE) remains a significant challenge and public health problem, which needs novel noninvasive biomarkers for the precise diagnosis. The aim of this study was to further determine the clinical efficacy and diagnostic accuracy of a novel combination of calprotectin and CXCL12 for predicting malignancy in patients with exudative PE.Calprotectin and CXCL12 concentrations were measu...
متن کاملA novel bedside technique for differentiation of exudative from transudative pleural effusion
Abstract Background: At present, differentiation between exudative and transudative pleural effusion is based solely on laboratory measures and is time-consuming. Asimple bedside method would be of great help to differentiate between these two types of effusions. We present a new method for this purpose assessed in 46 patients. Methods: Standard laboratory tests and our method were tested...

Background and Objectives:Infection of pleural fluid is a common disease and because of antibiotic administration, the microbiology of this fluid has changed. The aim of this study was to determine the common bacteria and suitable antibiotics for treatment in pleural effusion (PE). Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, 1210 samples with exudative features were cultured for p...

متن کاملUSE OF CHOLESTEROL IN THE DIFFERENTIATION OF EXUDATIVE AND TRANSUDATIVE PLEURAL EFFUSION
Light's criteria (protein and LDH) have been used to the present to differentiate exudative pleural effusion from transudative. This is both time consuming and relatively more expensive as compared to measuring cholesterol. During 1992-1993, a prospective study on 70 patients with effusion was carried out measuring fasting LDH, protein, cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase and glucose. All pa...
