Does the evaluation of coagulation factors contribute to etiological diagnosis of pleural effusions?

Does the evaluation of coagulation factors contribute to etiological diagnosis of pleural effusions?

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify the participation of the coagulation system in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions. INTRODUCTION: Imbalance between immunologic and metabolic factors triggers a sequence of events resulting in pleural reactions and accumulation of fluid. T...
