- High cells and low protein OR Low cells and high protein
- Yellow to serosanguinous, turbid
- Specific gravity 1.018 - 1.030
- Total protein 25 - 50g/L
- Nucleated cells 0.3 - 5.5 x10e9/L (up to 7 x 10e9/L)
- Mesothelial cells, macrophages, non-degenerate neutrophils, small lymphocytes
- Due to:
- Cardiac disease
- Increased hydrostatic pressure within blood vessels
- May be compounded by hypertension
- Chylous effusions (see below)
- Lymphatic obstruction (neoplasia - e.g. papillary adenocarcinoma of the ovary in the bitch, also produces fluid)
- Cardiac disease
