Diagnostic role of different biochemical parameters in pleural effusion

A pleural effusion, an excessive accumulation of fluid in the space, indicates imbalance between formation and removal. For diagnosing treatment plan, effusions have to be classified into transudate exudate. The aim present study was analyze various biochemical parameters (LDH, pH, Glucose, Triglycerides, Cholesterol, Creatinine, Amylase ADA) correlate these Biochemical with diagnosis patients. a hospital based descriptive study. conducted over period one year on 100 samples. Total samples were enrolled Both serum collected quantitatively analyzed using semi-automated analyzer. results shows thatThe Mean±SD concentration glucose 65.69±14.13 mg/dl, total protein 3.53±1.53g/dl, albumin 1.64±0.85g/dl, cholesterol 58.9±13.05mg/dl, triglycerides 68.7±10.47mg/dl, creatinine 1.73±0.96mg/dl, amylase 49.56±17.78IU/L, LDH 299.82±65.46 U/L ADA 49.56±17.78U/L. It concluded that play important role Pleural effusions. These markers when used collectively their diagnostic efficacy is greatly increased. SEAG superior Light's criteria identifying transudative also observed identified exudative better than SEAG.
