The mean concentrations of pleural effusion lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), adenosine deaminase (ADA), protein and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were 338.2 U/L (range, 61–667 U/L), 11.6 U/L (range, 0.1–28.2 U/L), 43.7 g/dL (range, 21.9–88.1 g/dL), and 1.84 mg/mL (range, 0.28–4.8 mg/mL), respectively. Here, CEACAM5 is linked to Pleural effusion.
