Common causes of transudative pleural<unk>  include left ventricular failure, nephrotic syndrome, and cirrhosis. Common causes of exudative pleural<unk> s include: bacterial pneumonia, cancer (with lung cancer, breast cancer, and lymphoma causing approximately 75% of all malignant pleural<unk> s), viral infection, and pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism may lead to formation of either transudate or exudate, however, an exudate is commonly observed.
