- Reference notes
- Because of the wide range of Albumin levels seen in serous body fluids, results are best evaluated by using the serum-effusion albumin gradient (serum albumin result minus the serous body fluid albumin result) to differentiate whether the fluid is a transudate or an exudate. A gradient value of >1.2 g/dL is seen in transudates. A gradient value of ≤1.2 g/dL is seen in exudates.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
