Modified transudates are a type of effusion whose cell count and protein content are intermediate between a [[Transudate|transudate]] and an [[Exudate|exudate]].  In some cases, modified transudates may represent a transitional stage before the development of an exudate (as with uroabdomen, which begins as a modified transudate but develops into a chemical exudative peritonitis over time).  Modified transudates arise as a result of disruptions to the endothelium or imbalances in the [[Blood Pressure Physiology#Capillary Fluid Shift Mechanism |'''Starling forces''']].  Common causes include:
