Diagnostic value of adenosine deaminase to differentiate exudates and transudates.
The differentiation of pleural effusions as exudates or transudates is the first step in the diagnosis of pleural effusions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of adenosine deaminase (ADA) concentration in the pleural effusions for differentiating exudates from transudates. Sixty indoor patients, admitted to our hospital, having pleural effusions and suffering from varying etiologi...
متن کاملStudy on Oxidative Metabolic Changes to Differentiate Exudative from Transudative Pleural Effusions
The purpose of this present study was to differentiate transudates and exudates in pleural effusions. Oxidative stress has been associated with various respiratory disorders. Ninety patients of pleural effusions of diverse etiologies were participated in this study. Subjects underwent diagnostic thoracentesis and standard biochemical parameters (total protein, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose, MD...
متن کاملComparative analysis of the biochemical parameters used to distinguish between pleural transudates and exudates.
UNLABELLED The differentiation between exudates and transudates is the initial step in the analysis of pleural effusions as it often gives an indication of the underlying pathophysiologic process, the differential diagnosis, and the need for further investigations. Four classifications have been suggested in the literature: Light's criteria, serum-effusion albumin gradient, effusion cholesterol...
متن کاملThe Acute-Phase Proteins Serum Amyloid A and C Reactive Protein in Transudates and Exudates
The distinction between exudates and transudates is very important in the patient management. Here we evaluate whether the acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA), in comparison with C reactive protein (CRP) and total protein (TP), can be useful in this discrimination. CRP, SAA, and TP were determined in 36 exudate samples (27 pleural and 9 ascitic) and in 12 transudates (9 pleural and 3 asci...
متن کاملHDL/LDL ratio: a useful parameter for separation of pleural transudates from exudates.
The first diagnostic step in pleural effusions is the separation of transudates from exudates. We aimed in present study to investigate the value of HDL/LDL ratio for distinguishing between pleural exudates and transudates. Pleural fluids (PF)from 121 patients, including 28 transudates and 93 exudates were analyzed. The levels of cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in PF were measu...
