| Summary: | Abdominal effusion is a relatively common problem in small animal practice. Proper collection and evaluation of peritoneal effusion can provide valuable information about the disease which is responsible for the fluid accumulation in the body cavity. The classification of effusions based on their underlying etio-pathology is clinically useful for the clinician to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. Present article reports briefly regarding pathophysiology of effusion, sample collection, physical, microscopic, biochemical changes, and their clinical significance in various disease conditions. |
