| Serum LDH (IU/L) | |
| Upper limit of normal serum LDH (IU/L) | |
| Results | |

| Pleural LDH / ULN serum LDH | |
| Interpretation | |
|---|---|
| Exudative (any 1 of:) | Pleural protein/serum protein > 0.5 OR Pleural LDH/serum LDH > 0.6 OR Pleural LDH > 2/3 ULN serum LDH. Causes: infection, malignancy, PE, autoimmune, etc. |
| Transudative | None of the above criteria met. Causes: CHF, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, PE. |
