Abstract
Triglyceride levels are the best parameter to detect chylous body fluids when lipoprotein electrophoresis is not available. Single-point triglyceride cut-offs of 187 and 240Â mg/dl (2.13 and 2.74Â mmol/l) or alternatively equivocal ranges of 148-246 and 94-240Â mg/dl (1.69-2.80 and 1.07-2.74Â mmol/l) were established for peritoneal and pleural fluid, respectively.
