Pleural Fluid Analysis

Pleural fluid analysis is a diagnostic test used to evaluate fluid that accumulates in the pleural space (the space between the lungs and chest wall). The test helps identify causes of pleural effusion, such as infections, heart failure, cancer, or inflammatory conditions. During the procedure, a sample of pleural fluid is obtained via thoracentesis, where a needle is inserted into the chest to withdraw the fluid. The sample is then analyzed for cell count, protein, glucose, pH, and the presence of bacteria or cancer cells. Risks include infection, bleeding, or lung puncture. Results help determine the underlying cause of the pleural effusion, guiding treatment decisions.
