Transudate is extravascular fluid with low protein content and a low specific gravity (< 1.012). It has low nucleated cell counts (less than 500 to 1000...

an infection. There is an important distinction between transudates and exudates. Transudates are caused by disturbances of hydrostatic or colloid osmotic...

immunoglobulins Definitions of the terms "transudate" and "exudate" are the source of much confusion. Briefly, transudate is produced through pressure filtration...

failure (cirrhosis) are typically lower in protein content and are called transudates whereas fluid accumulations due to cancer and tuberculosis are typically...

Ascitic fluid can accumulate as a transudate or an exudate. Amounts of up to 35 liters are possible. Roughly, transudates are a result of increased pressure...

discriminant than the older method of classifying ascites fluid as a transudate versus exudate. The formula is as follows: SAAG = (serum albumin) − (albumin...

to determine the etiology of pleural fluid. First the fluid is either transudate or exudate. An exudate is defined as pleural fluid to serum total protein...

engorgement of blood vessels increases the volume of transudate from the vaginal walls. Transudate has a neutral pH, so increases in its production can...
