Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004316
A fluid, rich in protein and cellular debris, that leaks out of blood vessels into tissues or onto surfaces during inflammation. This fluid contains immune cells, antibodies, and clotting factors, contributing to the body's defense mechanisms. It differs from transudate, which is typically clear and low in protein.
