By separation of alkaline phosphatase into isoenzymes, an isoenzyme fraction corresponding to the intestinal isoenzyme was isolated in a case of chylothorax. Since this fraction is transported from the intestine through the thoracic duct, the appearance of this fraction in a pleural effusion is
The usefulness of placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) as a diagnostic marker of malignancy was assessed in pleural fluid from 60 patients with effusions. Pleural fluid PLAP activities were measured by an enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) using the two monoclonal antibodies H17E2 and H317. Similar
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the value of pleural fluid alkaline phosphatase and pleural fluid/serum alkaline phosphatase ratio for the purpose of differentiating tuberculous from nontuberculous pleural effusion.
METHODS
A total of 60 indoor patients, admitted to our hospital, having pleural effusion and
BACKGROUND
Pleural effusion (PF) is a common clinical presentation in several diseases. Various parameters from pleural fluid have been studied to identify the cause. The diagnostic value of these parameters varies. The present study was carried out to evaluate the value of alkaline phosphatase
The objective of our study was to analyze the prognostic value of the combination of serum ALP and pleural effusion LDH (AL score) for malignant pleural effusion (MPE) patients.This study includes retrospective, descriptive and observational research from 1 A 10-year-old, female spayed mixed-breed or cross-bred dog was referred to the Small Animal Teaching Hospital of the University of Liverpool due to tachypnea, dyspnea, and pleural effusion not responding to diuretics and antibiotics. The chest was drained and cytology of the pleural fluid was
Malignant pleural effusions due to prostatic carcinoma are rare. We examined the cytologic and clinical presentations of 14 malignant pleural effusions caused by prostate cancer. These cases represented 2.3% of all positive pleural effusions at our institution. All patients (n = 10) had high grade,
We measured the concentration of tumor-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) in plasma and pleural fluid of 84 patients with pleural effusions of various causes. We observed elevated (greater than 30 micrograms/L) TATI levels in pleural fluid in 45 percent of patients with pleural effusion associated
