Abstract

Background and Objectives: One of the first steps in diagnosis of PLEURAL EFFUSION is distinction between EXUDATIVE and TRANSUDATIVE types. The aim of this study was to assess C – reactive protein (CRP) level as one of the diagnostic marker for differentiation of EXUDATIVE from TRANSUDATIVE PLEURAL EFFUSIONs.Methods: In this descriptive and sectional study, 80 patients with confirmed PLEURAL EFFUSION were assessed. These patients were divided into two groups based on Light´s criteria. Serum and pleural CRP were measured with Latex Agglutination Test.Results: Out of 80 patients with PLEURAL EFFUSION 26 were TRANSUDATIVE (32.5%) and 54 were EXUDATIVE (67.5%). In EXUDATIVE group, 72.2% of cases were CRP positive (1+ to 3+), and in TRANSUDATIVE group, only 38.5% of cases were CRP positive (p<0.05). There was no significant differences between different EXUDATIVE PLEURAL EFFUSION etiologies (infectious and non infectious, malignant and non malignant and tuberculosis) and the number of CRP positive cases (p>0.05). The rate of CRP positivity in EXUDATIVE PLEURAL EFFUSION group was more than TRANSUDATIVE group (p<0.05).Conclusion: According to our study it seems that CRP criterion could help in distinction between EXUDATIVE and TRANSUDATIVE types of PLEURAL EFFUSION.
