Triglyceride level is the best quantitative parameter to detect chylous body fluids. A single-point cut-off of 187 mg/dl (2.13 mmol/l) was calculated for ascites. An equivocal range of 148–246 mg/dl (1.69–2.80 mmol/l) may be used for ascites. For pleural effusions, the single-point cut-off is 240 mg/dl (2.74 mmol/l). The equivocal range was 94–240 mg/dl (1.07–2.74 mmol/l) for pleural effusions.
