Example Sentences:

Example Sentences:
(1) Narrowing and angulation of these veins could result in elevated back pressure favoring the formation of a transudate.

(3) The amount of the fluid flowing off the vessels, perfusate penetration into the intestinal lumen and its transudation through the serous membrane were determined.
(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.
