Lactate dehydrogenase activity in the diagnosis of malignant effusions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enzyme assays in a series of 38 cases of pleural effusion and in 10 cases of ascites associated with malignant lesions and of 24 of pleural effusion and of five of ascites of benign origin do not support the suggestion that the estimation of the fluid lactate dehydrogenase serum ratios in pleural and peritoneal effusions is of value in the diagnosis of malignancy.

Pleural fluid ferritin concentrations in human disease.
The concentration of ferritin was measured in the pleural fluid of 108 patients with pleural effusions. In all groups of patients the ferritin concentration was higher in pleural fluid than in serum. The greatest differences, with up to 100 times more ferritin in the pleural fluid, were found for patients with rheumatoid pleurisy, malignant effusions, and empyema. In patients with non-malignant...
متن کاملPleural Effusion, Adenosine Deaminase (ada) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (ldh) Enzymes Level, Correlated with Cytological Evaluation
Background: Measurement of pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzymes activity has gained increasing popularity as a diagnostic test for tuberculous and non-tuberculous pleuritis, especially in countries where the prevalence of TB is high. It carries a high sensitivity, inexpensive and easy. Objective: To demonstrate the diagnostic value of increased level o...
متن کاملEstimation of Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in cerebrospinal fluid in different types of meningitis
Objective: Meningitis is life-threatening condition and examination of the Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may not give a precise diagnosis and prognosis of different types of meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is still a very common problem especially in many developing countries. The aims of study are to estimate the importance and significance of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), protein...

متن کاملDIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN BENIGN, REACTIVE AND MALIGNANT CELLS IN SEROSAL BODY FLUIDS BY AgNOR STAINING
Argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) were determined in 94 pleural, pericardial and peritoneal effusions. The results were correlated with cytologic diagnosis to determine the diagnostic potential of this technique. Cytologically the number of normal, reactive and malignant effusions were 32, 28 and 34 respectively. The mean AgNOR counts for normal, reactive and malignant spec...
