乳糜性积液

定义

乳糜胸（乳糜积液）提示乳糜从胸导管渗漏。胸腔积液的甘油三酯浓度超过110毫克/分升，标志着发生乳糜胸的可能性很大，而甘油三酯浓度低于50毫克/分升，则乳糜胸的可能性很小。

A chylous effusion (chylothorax) is defined by the presence of chyle in the pleural space resulting from obstruction or disruption of the thoracic duct or one of its major tributaries. A triglyceride concentration > 110 mg/dL is virtually diagnostic, but the presence of chylomicrons confirms the diagnosis. However, a chylothorax defined by these criteria represents a heterogeneous group of clinical entities. The presence of chylomicrons or triglyceride levels > 110 mg/dL in a pleural effusion should be considered evidence of chyle leakage of indeterminate clinical significance. Many cases of a chylous effusion may be associated with other causes of pleural fluid formation.
