Mesothelioma examination·Hyaluronic acid determination

Hyaluronic acid determination of pleural effusion

DMM due to the large number of hyaluronic acid secretion, lung cancer mucin secretion neutral. Therefore, in the pleural dMM contribute to the determination of hyaluronic acid and the identification of lung cancer. However, some benign serous effusion in the concentration of hyaluronic acid can also be increased. Determined by electrophoresis serosal effusion in the concentration of hyaluronic acid than 50mg l-1, 82% are caused by mesothelioma. High performance liquid chromatography of the value of hyaluronic acid 75mg l-1, for the mesothelioma of the specific 100% .
