Transudation
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of transuding.
(n.) Same as Exosmose.
Example Sentences:
(1) Narrowing and angulation of these veins could result in elevated back pressure favoring the formation of a transudate.

(4) These effusions were borderline between exudates and transudates and showed little evidence of inflammation.
(5) Two mechanisms were proposed to explain these abnormalities: transudation of serum FFAs into the pancreatic duct and local production of arachidonic acid as a result of the damage to pancreatic cell membranes.
(6) Myxedema should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an unexplained pleural effusion no matter whether it is a transudate or an exudate.
