A transudate is a collection of fluid that has a relatively low specific gravity and protein concentration. They occur secondary to increased hydrostatic pressure or reduced colloid oncotic pressure:
- left ventricular failure (increased hydrostatic pressure)
- hypoalbuminemia (decreased colloid oncotic pressure)
- cirrhosis
- nephrotic syndrome (proteinuria)
