“…If the pleural effusions do not rapidly disappear, a diagnostic thoracentesis is performed several days later. It should be noted that, with diuresis, the characteristics of the pleural fluid may occasionally change from those of a transudate to those of an exudate [2,3]. However, in such patients, the serum to pleural fluid albumin gradient usually remains above 1.2 g·dL -1 ; in this situation, this gradient can be used to assess when the patient has a transudative or an exudative pleural effusion [4].…”

“…Because pleural fluids cannot be received from healthy people, heart failure group was considered as the control group. The increase of the level of neopterin, in patients with heart failure formation, has been already shown in other studies [11,12]. Neopterin kits can help patients in whom the cellular immunity should be checked frequently and also distinguish immune-mediated tissue damage from metabolic one.…”

“…Diuretics can change level of many substances such as protein, albumin, LDH, cholesterol and cholinesterase in the pleural fluid [11,12]. However, Romero-Canderia et al [13] showed that the lowest changing markers are protein and albumin gradients.…”

“…Se debe realizar una toracocentesis siempre que la presentación clínica sea atípica, como en las siguientes circunstancias (47): DP unilateral, DP bilateral con gran diferencia de tamaño entre un lado y otro, DP bilateral sin cardiomegalia, presencia de fiebre o dolor torácico y persistencia del DP a pesar del tratamiento diurético. En la insuficiencia cardíaca, el LP es un trasudado y, aunque la concentración de proteínas, LDH y colesterol pleurales aumenta significativamente con el tratamiento diurético, pocas veces se alcanzan los valores propios de un exudado (48).…”
