another group of patients with both cardiac and noncardiac causes for edema demonstrated edema fluid to serum protein ratios that were significantly higher than those found in the cardiogenic patients and lower than the protein ratios in the noncardiogenic patients ( 0.60 +/- 0.07 ) ( p less than 0.01 ) a cardiac or noncardiac causes of pulmonary edema could be determined in all patients , using edema fluid to serum total protein ratios in conjunction with globulin ratios .
