  3. Pleural effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleural_effusion

    A pleural effusion is accumulation of excessive fluid in the pleural space, the potential space that surrounds each lung.Under normal conditions, pleural fluid is secreted by the parietal pleural capillaries at a rate of 0.6 millilitre per kilogram weight per hour, and is cleared by lymphatic absorption leaving behind only 5–15 millilitres of fluid, which helps to maintain a functional ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivalta_test

    On the surface of this solution, 1 drop of the effusion fluid is carefully layered. If the drop disappears and the solution remains clear, the Rivalta's test is defined as negative. If the drop retains its shape, stays attached to the surface or slowly floats down to the bottom of the tube (drop- or jelly-fish-like), the Rivalta's test is ...

  5. Exudate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exudate

    (See below for difference between transudate and exudate) Malignant (or cancerous) pleural effusion is effusion where cancer cells are present. [11] It is usually classified as exudate. Types of exudates: serous, serosanguineous, sanguineous, hemorrhaging and purulent drainage. Serous: Clear straw colored liquid that drains from the wound.

  6. Transudate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transudate

    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 per microliter) and the primary cell types are mononuclear cells: macrophages, lymphocytes and mesothelial cells. For instance, an ultrafiltrate of blood plasma is transudate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleural_cavity

    Pleural effusions are classified as exudative (high protein) or transudative (low protein). Exudative pleural effusions are generally caused by infections such as pneumonia (parapneumonic pleural effusion), malignancy, granulomatous disease such as tuberculosis or coccidioidomycosis, collagen vascular diseases, and other inflammatory states.
