Fluid Dynamics: Diagnosing Chylous Effusion

This chapter explores a medical case involving the analysis of bodily fluids, particularly focusing on ascites and pleural effusion. The discussion includes the process of centrifugation, identifying fluid characteristics, and confirms chylous effusion through triglyceride and lymphocyte counts. It emphasizes the differential diagnoses and the need for further imaging to understand underlying health issues related to fluid accumulation.
