Abstract:
Lipoprotein electrophoresis is the gold standard for the detection of chylous ascites and pleural effusions. It is, however, not suitable as a front-line test and not widely available. Most clinicians must rely solely on the quantitative determination of lipids. The aim of this work was to establish lipid cut-off values for the presence of chylomicrons in pleural and peritoneal fluid.Triglyceride and cholesterol levels from 113 peritoneal and 154 pleural fluid samples investigated for chylomicro...     »
