The Diagnostic Values of Protein to Lactate Dehyrogenase Ratio in Serum and Pleural Fluid in Exudate Pleural Effusions
Introduction: Different etiologies of pleural effusion are diagnosed based on serum and plural fluid characteristics. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the serum and pleural fluid protein to lactate dehyrogenase (Pr/LDH) ratio in exudative pleural effusions. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 60 patients with exudative pleural effusion including: 20 cases with para...
متن کاملDiagnostic imaging of small amounts of pleural fluid: pleural effusion vs. physiologic pleural fluid.
The aim of this article is to present an overview of our 10 years clinical research work and early clinical experience with small pleural effusions. Small amounts of pleural fluid are severely difficult to identify with imaging methods (chest x-rays and ultrasound). Nevertheless, it may be an important finding, sometimes leading to a definitive diagnosis of pleural carcinomatosis, infection or ...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of pleural fluid pH.
One hundred eighty-three patients had simultaneous blood and pleural fluid pH determinations. Thirty-six effusions were transudates, and 147 were exudates. In 46 effusions, the pleural fluid pH was less than 7.30; all 46 were exudates. A pleural fluid pH less than 7.30 was associated with the following six diagnoses: (1) empyema; (2) malignancy; (3) collagen vascular disease; (4) tuberculosis; ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Significance of Pleural Fluid pH
The pH, PCW and bicarbonate levels were measured in 178 pleural effusions grouped according to preset criteria into various diagnostic categories. The pH and Pcoz were found to vary widely, the ranges being 6.80 to 7.60 and 26 to 126 mm Hg, respectively. The effusions associated with pneumonia (parapneumonk effusions) showed the most widely varying values of pH. Apparently the pleural fluid pH ...
