- High cells and high protein
- Turbid - red, yellow, white
- Specific gravity > 1.018
- Total protein > 30g/L
- Nucleated cells >3 x 10e9/L
- Neutrophils non-degenerate or degenerate, macrophages, lymphocytes, 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 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 > macrophages
- e.g.FIP
- Septic
- Long standing modified transudate becomes exudate
- Neoplasia (cell numbers really high)
- Inflammation of the pleural/abdominal cavities or their lining
