Diagnostic 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...
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 adenosine deaminase in nontuberculous lymphocytic pleural effusions.
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) can aid in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusions, but false-positive findings from lymphocytic effusions have been reported. The purpose of this study is to assess the ADA levels in nontuberculous lymphocytic pleural effusions (lymphocyte count > 50%) of different aetiologies. Altogether, 410 nontuberculous lymphocytic pleural fluid samples were consecutively ...
