  • Title: [An evaluation of lactic dehydrogenase and isoenzymes in the pleural fluid in tuberculous and malignant effusion].
    Author: Zhang QX.
    Journal: Zhonghua Jie He He Hu Xi Za Zhi; 1990 Apr; 13(2):71, 125. PubMed ID: 2397532.
    Abstract:
    In this article, we evaluated the usefulness of pleural fluid lactic dehydrogenase and isoenzymes in differential diagnosis of pleurisy. Lactic dehydrogenase activities and isoenzymes in pleural fluid were determined in twenty-five patients with tuberculosis and twenty-five patients with malignancy. The results showed that both lactic dehydrogenase level and isoenzymes in pleural fluid between two groups did not correlate significantly (P greater than 0.05).
