  2. Ascites - Wikipedia

    The serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) is probably a better discriminant than older measures (transudate versus exudate) for the causes of ascites. [12] A high gradient (> 1.1 g/dL) indicates the ascites is due to portal hypertension. A low gradient (< 1.1 g/dL) indicates ascites of non-portal hypertensive as a cause. [13]

    The serum-ascites albumin gradient or gap (SAAG) is a calculation used in medicine to help determine the cause of ascites. [1] 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).

  4. Pleural effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleural_effusion

    An accurate diagnosis of the cause of the effusion, transudate versus exudate, relies on a comparison of the chemistries in the pleural fluid to those in the blood, using Light's criteria. According to Light's criteria (Light, et al. 1972), a pleural effusion is likely exudative if at least one of the following exists: [31]

  5. Hepatic hydrothorax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_hydrothorax

    To rule out heart-related causes of pleural effusion, an echocardiogram can be performed. Pleuroperitoneal communications are best detected by peritoneal scintigraphy. Hydrothorax without ascites has been reported to occur in as many as 20% of people with cirrhosis but is only detected in 7% of cases via CT scan and ultrasound. [4]

  6. Meigs's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meigs's_syndrome

    Because the transdiaphragmatic lymphatic channels are larger in diameter on the right, the pleural effusion is classically on the right side. The causes of the ascites and pleural effusion are poorly understood. [1] Atypical Meigs syndrome, characterized by a benign pelvic mass with right-sided pleural effusion but without ascites, can also occur.

    Hydrothorax is the synonym of pleural effusion in which fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity.This condition is most likely to develop secondary to congestive heart failure, following an increase in hydrostatic pressure within the lungs.
