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 a pathological accumulation of fluids in the pleural cavity. Many etiologies exist, which are widely classified as exudates or transudates, based on the modified Light’s Criteria and depending on the biochemical analysis of the aspirated fluid [1]. Infections, malignancies, an...
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...

Carmo, Leila Antonangelo, Roberto Onishi, and Richard W. Light 展开 摘要: Since the criteria of Light andcolleagues for differentiating transudates and exudates were described, other tests, including the pleural fluid (PF) cholesterol test, havebeen proposed for the same purpose. However, the ...

The subjects were NSCLC patients who had a pleural effusion at the time of diagnosis. The diagnosis of NSCLC was based on the histological or cytological findings, and the histological type was determined according to the WHO criteria (Travis et al, 1999). Patients' records consisted of age, ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate, in 20 cats presented with PE, paired samples of serum and pleural fluid for the following parameters: Light's criteria (pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase concentration (LDHp), pleural fluid/serum LDH ratio, pleural fluid/serum total protein ratio (TPr)...
