DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EXUDATIVE AND TRANSUDATIVE PLEURAL EFFUSION

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EXUDATIVE AND TRANSUDATIVE PLEURAL EFFUSION Pleural effusion, also referred as “water on the lungs” is the build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura. Depending on the cause, pleural effusion may be either protein-rich and is called exudative or protein-poor called transudative. In exudative pleural effusion the physiopathological mechanism is increased capillary permeability due to inflammation and in transudative pleural effusion the physiopathological mechanism is either increased capillary hydrostatic pressure or decreased capillary oncotic pressure. Other differences are linked to density, total cell counts, concentration of LDH, which we discuss in this video. Thank you for watching and please subscribe for more videos like this!
