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...

A prospective trial evaluating the role of mesothelin in undiagnosed pleural effusions.

Mesothelin has been proposed as a useful tool in the diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We aimed to examine its diagnostic utility and the impact of renal impairment on results. We prospectively recruited 230 patients with new undiagnosed pleural effusions, testing serum (n=216) and pleural fluid (n=206) mesothelin (by ELISA) during the initial consultation. 28 (12%) out of 230 ...

Getting the most from pleural fluid analysis.

Virtually, every pulmonary disease and most non-pulmonary diseases may be associated with a pleural effusion. The presence of a pleural effusion allows the clinician to 'diagnose' or narrow the differential diagnosis and aetiology of the fluid collection. However, pleural fluid analysis (PFA) in isolation rarely provides a definitive diagnosis. This review discusses the rationale for evaluating...

Kinetics of the Levels of Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Serum and Pleural Fluid after Major Lung Resection for Lung Cancer

Some proand anti-inflammatory cytokines and angiogenesis-related factors play important roles in the inflammatory response after surgery. To study their kinetics and mutual relationships after major lung resection for lung cancer, concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, -8 and -10 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were measured in serum and pleural fluid. Venous blood and pleural flui...
