Analysis of an aliquot of fluid from a pleural effusion will often provide the clinician with the information needed to establish a presumptive or definitive diagnosis of the patient's illness. A properly performed pleural fluid pH can maximize the diagnostic yield and provide guidelines for further clinical interventions.
