The Protein – Pleural Fluid test is used to measure the amount of protein present in pleural fluid, which accumulates in the space between the lungs and chest wall.
This test is important in distinguishing between different types of pleural effusion. High protein levels are typically associated with exudative effusions caused by infections, inflammation, or malignancy, while low protein levels suggest transudative effusions, often related to conditions such as heart failure or liver disease.
