[Cardiogenic and non cardiogenic pulmonary edema: pathomechanisms and causes].
The development of pulmonary edema is divided in cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic. Cardiogenic edema pathogenically is caused by elevated hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary capillaries due to left sided congestive heart failure. Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema is categorized depending on the underlying pathogenesis in low-alveolar pressure, elevated permeability or neurogenic edema. Some impo...
متن کاملNTpro-BNP – diagnostic significance and recommended clinical applications
Brain natriuretic peptides are elevated in circulation in proportion to a decrease in myocardial function. They have been uniformly shown to have excellent negative predictive value in differential diagnosis of dyspnoea. They can also be used in diagnosing heart failure and have been recently shown as possible prognostic markers in acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary embolism. It is important...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of lactoferrin analysis in pleural effusions.
Lactoferrin was analysed with an ELISA in pleural effusions from 21 patients with malignant exudative effusions (15 carcinomas and 6 mesotheliomas), 12 patients with non-malignant exudative effusions of unknown aetiology, 11 patients with transudative effusions due to congestive heart failure, 12 patients with exudative effusions secondary to infection, and 2 patients with tuberculous effusions...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of interleukin-12 p40 in tuberculous pleural effusions.
The diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion (TBPE) is frequently problematic. Several markers of TBPE in pleural fluid have been evaluated, with different results. Pleural effusions from 96 patients were classified on the basis of definitive diagnosis as tuberculous (n = 39), neoplastic (n = 42) or parapneumonic (n = 15). Adenosine deaminase (ADA), ADA isoform ADA-2, interferon (IFN)-gamma, C...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of tumour markers in pleural effusions
Introduction We investigated whether tumour markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), and cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) in pleural effusions and serum can be used to distinguish pleural effusion aetiology. Materials and methods During the first thoracentesis, we measured pleural fluid and serum tumour marker concentrations and c...
