Very low-certainty evidence means we are uncertain whether either fluid affected adverse events: we found little or no difference in allergic reactions (RR 2.59, 95% CI 0.27 to 24.91; 7757 ...

Fluid analysis confirmed a transudative effusion and a diagnosis of HH was made. Cardiothoracic surgical review was sought, but diaphragmatic repair was not offered due to patient frailty. The patient ...

Pleural effusion results from one of two mechanisms. The first is transudative and produced by fluid pushed through small vessels, mainly due to abnormal circulation within these vessels. The second ...

Objective: Pleural effusion is a common medical problem. It is important to decide whether the pleural fluid is a transudate or an exudate. This study aims to measure the attenuation values of pleural ...

A recent study published in the Respiratory Research found that computed tomography (CT) scans can play an important role in precise distinction between transudative and exudative pleural effusions.

Transudate is a watery fluid with low levels of protein. It results when pressure in the blood vessels causes fluid to leak into your pleural space. It's often an indication of: Heart failure ...

It has been discovered that tuberculous pleural effusions had a greater alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentration than transudative effusions. This study used pleural fluid alkaline phosphatase levels ...

The following is a summary of "A practical approach to pseudoexudative pleural effusions," published in the May 2023 issue of Pulmonology by Mohan, et al. For a study, researchers sought a practical ...

Transudative. This pleural effusion fluid is similar to the fluid you normally have in your pleural space. It forms from liquid leaking across normal pleura.

Results: The pericardial fluid protein/serum protein ratio and NLR were significantly higher in the exudate group than in the transudate group (p<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve ...
