Can you hear cellularity
“Following completion of laboratory testing, the findings can be used to classify fluid from the pleura, peritoneum, or pericardium as hemorrhagic, transudate, or exudate. The cell composition of a fluid, including number and type of cells, is a factor in determining if the effusion is a transudate or exudate. In general, the number of cells is lower in a transudate than in an exudate.”
