ok i found the answer 
generally high glucose levels are not of great importance in the pleural fluid, but there are some important conditions that should be excluded...
1. after a high glucose meal normal pleural fluid glucose level increases
2. infusothorax :arrow: the extravasation of the central venous catheter..(esp.in newborns)
3. peritoneal dialyses fluid leakage in the pleura

=> 50 is a transudate and < 50 is an exudate. And yes, RA is the lowest level of glucose (=<10)
