The classification of effusions is based on the '''total cell count''' and '''total protein content''' of the fluid:
*[[Transudate|'''Transudates''']] and [[Modified Transudate|'''modified transudates''']] have the lowest protein contents and cell counts.  They usually result from imbalances in the [[Control of Blood Pressure & Blood Flow - Anatomy & Physiology#Capillary Fluid Shift Mechanism |Starling forces]].
