#[[Derrames opacos: Quilo o Sangre]]

 

En base a esta clasificación, los parámetros físico-químicos a determinar serán: COLOR-CANTIDAD DE PROTEINAS-CONTAJE CELULAR-CITOLOGÍA (evaluación de la forma celular predominante). Otros análisis laboratoriales ''diferenciadores'' serán las determinaciones de colesterol o triglicéridos en la muestra (cuando estemos ante un quilotórax).  

 

 

Los rsultados del análisis nos darán idea del pronóstico. En gatos suele ser generalmente pobre para todas las situaciones a excepción del exudado (poitórax)

Otros análisis que pueden realizarse

 

 

 

 

The following can be analysed: '''cytology, total cell count, differential cell count, total protein, bacterial culture ans sensitivity, gram stain and triglyceride and cholesterol levels''' (if [[Chylothorax|chylothorax]] is suspected).  

 

 

These can be identified by the protein and cellular content of the sample.  

The fluid can give an indication of '''prognosis'''; in the cat prognosis is generally poor for all diagnoses except [[Pyothorax|pyothorax]] (an exudate with degenerate [[neutrophils]] and intracellular bacteria). Therefore it is often useful to perform in-house cytology to give a preliminary diagnosis, which allows the owners to make an informed decision before proceeding with further treatment. Differential diagnosis in the cat include [[Heart Failure|congestive heart failure]], [[Feline Infectious Peritonitis|FIP]], [[Pyothorax|pyothorax]], [[Neoplasia - Pathology|neoplasia]], [[Haemothorax|haemothorax]] and [[Chylothorax|chylothorax]]. ''It should be noted that any pleural effusion may produce bizarre [[mesothelial cells]] which could be mistaken for neoplastic cells.''
