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 ...
To describe the incidence of discordant exudate effusions, their underlying etiologies and their impact on the accuracy of the Light′s criteria to diagnose exudate effusions. A retrospective review of pleural fluid analysis from a cohort of patients with pleural effusion who underwent thoracentesis. ...
(77 vs. 70 kg;p≤ 0.02) than those without pleural effusions. For ADPKD subjects with pleural effusions, the mean volume of fluid layering dependently in the posterior–inferior thorax was 19 mL and was not considered to be clinically significant. Pleural effusion is associated with ADPKD, but...
The higher diagnostic performance in the two previously performed B-TUS studies may be due to the inclusion criteria, the differences in patient spectrums, and the examination criteria in these studies. In both studies, only patients with suspicion of malignant effusion were included [22,23]. Fur...
