Transudates are a type of [[:Category:Effusions|effusion]] that has a low cellularity and a low protein content. Transudates occur due to imbalances in the [[Blood Pressure Physiology#Capillary Fluid Shift Mechanism |'''Starling forces''']], of which the two principal examples are hydrostatic pressure and plasma oncotic pressure (or colloid osmotic pressure). The following causes of transudate effusions are therefore recognised:
