According to lights criteria (To know if the fluid is transudative or exudative)
NORMAL:Serum Protein ratio: >0.5Serum LDH ratio: >0.6LDH>2/3 upper limit of normal serum LDHProteins >30gm/L
My Patient:Serum protein ratio:0.7Serum LDH: 2.3
INTERPRETATION: As 2 values are greater than the normal we consider as an EXUDATIVE EFFUSION.
