Li Fan's test is one of the most common and most commonly used methods for distinguishing between exudates and leaks. Clinically, it is generally used to identify whether pleural effusion and ascites are inflammation. A positive (+) means that the effusion is exudate, and a negative (-) means that the effusion is a leak. The serous effusion is divided into leakage liquid and exudate.

Normal value A positive (+) indicates that the effusion is exudate, and a negative (-) indicates that the effusion is a leak. Clinical significance Positive and negative abnormalities have different symptoms. When positive, exudate is caused by inflammation, which is common in infectious and non-infectious factors, and sometimes in malignant tumors. Negative is that the leakage is non-inflammatory, and the basic cause is the decrease of plasma colloid osmotic pressure, increased intravascular pressure, and obstruction of lymphatic vessels.
