Transudate vs exudate | Respiratory system diseases | NCLEX-RN | Khan Academy

In a pleural effusion, different fluids can enter the pleural cavity. Transudate is fluid pushed through the capillary due to high pressure within the capillary. Exudate is fluid that leaks around the cells of the capillaries caused by inflammation. Learn why transudative fluid does not contain proteins, why exudate does contain proteins, and how health professionals can differentiate between the two using Light’s criteria.

Exudation - Accumulation of fluid rich in proteins and cells outside the blood vessels. Typical of inflammation. Indicates a change in endothelial permeability. Transudation - Accumulation of poor fluid in protein and cells (mainly albumin). Typical of hemodynamic disorders (heart failure).

It was a very good explanation, i finally got to understand the difference between these two types of pleural effusion

[@TheMessi121212]

you are excellent, you are born to teach. good for you

[@mntol]

best ways to memorize best way to learn medicine , you are amazing keep it up !!

[@rachelm712]

Thank you, very helpful. Seeing it is not the same as reading about it

[@nygirl5]

Excellent explanation. Im an echo tech and this was important for me to differentiate.

[@sandeepkaur4848]

I always understand it and then forget it simultaneously. It's my fourth time with no clue again what it is but I know that this video is superb but probably my brain isn't 😂

[@sanskrutisawant1248]

Thank you! It was very helpful!

[@troyus111]

Isn't the second example osmotic pressure, not hydrostatic pressure? Maybe she is talking about a higher pressure/fluid, but not really less proteins?

[@cynthiasimasiku2130]

She's very good 😊,I loved the tutorial

[@nellyachiangah2701]

Thank you soo much🤗

[@DrZaheerAbbas08]

Do a Pleural fluid LDH and Pleural fluid proteins , Serum Proteins and Serum LDH, then use lights criteria to label it as Transudate or exudative. If transudate then carry out Pleural Fluid BNP and serum BNp levels to check for Ventricular straining in HF, Serum Albumin and LFts to check for liver cirrhosis and nephrotic syndrome and Urine RE as well, TFTs for hypothyroidism. If Exudate, Carry out Pleural studies for R/E and Cytology for Malignancy , Pleural Fluid ADA and MTB Gene Xpert for TB, Pleural fluid C/S for infection, Serum Amylase for Pancreatitis and tumor markers (CEA, CA 125, AFP).

[@Sunshine26762]

Thank you for this video! This helped clarify concepts from my Pathology course!

[@HannahJoy333]

Your videos are AMAZINGLY helpful! Thank you so much :-)

[@wosuibian1]

Ma'am. Very good explanation and you have a very beautiful voice too!

[@gritenygritsg1447]

Words cant describe my gratefulness

[@lizicadumitru9683]

This normal vessel is located on/in the lung?

[@hereiswherethereisnt]

came here for light's criterion but was dissapointed. neat work for learning the basics tho. keep it up khanacademy

[@irenetaehyung2639]

Thank you so much for this! It helped me a lot for my online classes.

[@dianasalazar4488]

Me too! Nursing student here taking a pathopharmacology test on lung abnormalities and drugs along with the heart abnormalities and the drugs to treat them.

[@sonikaramkrishna547]

you're videos are really very helpful, thank you

[@katie3402]

good explanation, but it's not "plural fluid" ...it's pleural fluid, in the pleural space

[@TheMrLokuaiya]

Extremely helpful! Simple and clear!!

[@akanshawadekar7430]

Why there's less proteins in transudate ?

[@user-yd6ov9tt5g]

thank you so much ,What a great explanation

[@skmoin5383]

Nice 👍👍

[@dudiqashmar5609]

Absolutely gorgeous explanation ! Thank you :)

[@rubykibuthu7698]

Thank you....

[@drrn5891]

Thankyou

[@nancyjones5971]

do you mean a blood vessel or pleural cavity? I'm so confused how does the fluid in the blood affect the pleural cavity. please someone reply !!!

[@Jethrot1982]

I'm no expert but this is my understanding. In a transudate, the pressure in the blood vessels within the lungs builds up and fluid leaks out of these vessels into the lungs which then fills the pleural cavity. I'm not sure why the fluid leaks into the pleural cavity from the lung side but can't then leak out again... hmmm...

[@raghadhammami5364]

Thank youu 🙏🏼🙏🏼
