Light's criteria for diagnosing pleural effusion. According to Light, for pleural fluid to be classified as exudate, one or more of the following criteria should be met including the pleural fluid protein's is greater than 0.5, its serum greater than 0.6, and its lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ...
Pleural effusion is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity between the lining of the lungs and the thoracic cavity (i.e., the visceral and parietal pleurae). Normally, a small amo...

When the etiology of a pleural effusion remains unknown, adult literature recommends the use of Light''s criteria to differentiate a transudate from an exudate. Pediatricians may rely on adult literature for the diagnostic management of pleural effusions as Light''s criteria has not been validated...

light's criteriaTo determine whether the simplified Light's criteria (ie, pleural effusion lactate dehydrogenase concentration and serum total protein) can identify the pathophysiology of pleural effusion formation in dogs, and to assess whether these criteria were more accurate than the traditional ...
Light's criteria misclassified 39.13% of transudates as exudates where fluid CRP value was of help.Conclusions: Fluid CRP value should be considered as an additive marker to Light's criteria in analysis of pleural effusion cases.Anindita Sinha Babu...
This prospective study was carried out to compare Serum to pleural fluid albumin gradient and Serum to pleural fluid protein gradient with traditional Light's Criteria. The aim was to determine the predictive accuracy to currently identify Exudative effusion by these methods. We collected pleural ...
