Clinically, it is suspected in the setting of prior urological manipulation, when pleural fluid analysis reveals a clear transudate fluid with no alternative explanation, and confirmed with a pleural fluid to serum creatinine ratio > one. Also, patients with urinothorax have low glucose, pH and...
In three of the patients pleural fluid resolved spontaneously; the other three were treated with corticosteroids. It is suggested that pleural involvement in sarcoidosis, especially in Negroes, may be more frequent than is generally realized and the effusion may occur either at the time of initial ...
Pleural fluid analysis was consistent with an acidic, transudative effusion with a pleural fluid/serum creatinine ratio of 1.3.

To assess the usefulness of repeat cytological examination of pleural fluid (PF) for diagnosing malignancy as well as the influence of time length between analyses, effusion's size and pleural fluid biochemistries on the diagnostic yield of cytology. Retrospective analysis of 1,427 patients with ple...
Table 2 Pleural fluid analysis Full size table On the second day (after the third dose) of enzyme therapy, a medical emergency call was activated for sudden hypotension (blood pressure 70 mmHg systolic) and respiratory distress. Drainage had become sanguineous and then ceased, presumably due to...

Pleural effusion (PE) is excess fluid in the pleural cavity that stems from lung cancer, other diseases like extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and pneumonia, or from a variety of benign conditions. Diagnosing its cause is often a clinical challenge and w
Because pleural effusion did not resolve spontaneously and her symptom of dyspnea on exertion worsened, corticosteroid therapy was initiated, which ameliorated the sarcoidosis and the pleuritis.#Analysis of the CD4/CD8 lymphocyte ratio in pleural effusion fluid obtained by thoracentesis may be helpful ...
