    Abstract

    Pleural effusion is the term used to describe a collection of fluid in the pleural space. The fact that in many series, the percentage of pleural effusions with an unknown aetiology is close to 15% illustrates how challenging it is to identify the source. The current study looks for bilirubin levels to identify different exudative pleural effusion causes. For the trial, a total of 207 patients with exudative pleural effusion were enrolled. Along with regular tests, the bilirubin levels in the pleural fluids were studied, and the results were statistically compared. Pleural fluid bilirubin levels cannot be utilised as a marker for determining the causes of exudative pleural effusions, according to the current study, which was able to identify 148 exudates with a sensitivity of 71%.
