Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of hemothorax include reduced concentrations of hemoglobin in CBC and pleural fluid with a hematocrit ranging from at least 25–50% of peripheral blood.
Laboratory Findings
- In CBC: reduced concentrations of hemoglobin.
- In thoracentesis: pleural fluid with a hematocrit ranging from at least 25–50% of peripheral blood[1]
