  2. Pleural effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleural_effusion

    Exudative pleural effusions occur when the pleura is damaged, e.g., by trauma, infection, or malignancy, and transudative pleural effusions develop when there is either excessive production of pleural fluid or the resorption capacity is reduced. Light's criteria [11] can be used to differentiate between exudative and transudative pleural effusions.

  4. Transudate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transudate

    Transudate is extravascular fluid with low protein content and a low specific gravity (< 1.012). It has low nucleated cell counts (less than 500 to 1000 per microliter) and the primary cell types are mononuclear cells: macrophages, lymphocytes and mesothelial cells. For instance, an ultrafiltrate of blood plasma is transudate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exudate

    (See below for difference between transudate and exudate) Malignant (or cancerous) pleural effusion is effusion where cancer cells are present. [11] It is usually classified as exudate. Types of exudates: serous, serosanguineous, sanguineous, hemorrhaging and purulent drainage. Serous: Clear straw colored liquid that drains from the wound.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum-ascites_albumin_gradient

    The SAAG may be a better discriminant than the older method of classifying ascites fluid as a transudate versus exudate. [2] The formula is as follows: SAAG = (serum albumin) − (albumin level of ascitic fluid). Ideally, the two values should be measured at the same time.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivalta_test

    On the surface of this solution, 1 drop of the effusion fluid is carefully layered. If the drop disappears and the solution remains clear, the Rivalta's test is defined as negative. If the drop retains its shape, stays attached to the surface or slowly floats down to the bottom of the tube (drop- or jelly-fish-like), the Rivalta's test is ...
