Exudate and transudate are two types of fluid buildup in the body. Transudate is caused by systemic conditions that alter the pressure in blood vessels, causing fluid to leave the vascular system. Transudate has a low protein content and appears clearer. Exudate, on the other hand, is caused by tissRead more
Exudate and transudate are two types of fluid buildup in the body. Transudate is caused by systemic conditions that alter the pressure in blood vessels, causing fluid to leave the vascular system. Transudate has a low protein content and appears clearer.
Exudate, on the other hand, is caused by tissue leakage due to inflammation or local cellular damage. Exudate has a high protein content and can be identified by Light’s criteria.
