*'''High cells''' and '''high protein'''
*Turbid - red, yellow, white
*Specific gravity > 1.018
*Total protein > 30g/L
*Nucleated cells >3 x 10e9/L
*[[Neutrophils - WikiBlood|Neutrophils]] non-degenerate or degenerate, [[Macrophages - WikiBlood|macrophages]], [[Lymphocytes - WikiBlood|lymphocytes]], [[Eosinophils - WikiBlood|eosinophils]] (with parasites)
*'''Due to:'''
**Inflammation of the pleural/abdominal cavities or their lining
***Septic
****Degenerate neutrophils
****Intracellular bacteria
****''In horses''
*****Yellow, brown turbid
*****Look for plant material - rupture or [[Enterocentesis|perforation]] of gut wall
*****Horses with gut rupture will quickly develop cardiovascular collapse
***Non-septic
****Non-derenerate neutrophils
****No bacteria
****''In horses''
*****Amber, slightly turbid fluid
*****[[Neutrophils - WikiBlood|Neutrophils]] > [[Macrophages - WikiBlood|macrophages]]
****e.g.[[Feline Infectious Peritonitis|FIP]]
**Long standing modified transudate becomes exudate
**Neoplasia (cell numbers really high)
