A study of the utility of lactate dehydrogenase, total proteins, and adenosine deaminase in the diagnosis of pleural exudates: A new statistical approach

Background: Pleural fluid (PF) may be transudative or exudative. Total protein estimation from PF is used to detect exudative pleural effusion. Objectives: To determine the role of new suggested criteria consisting of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total proteins (TP), and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in...
