CELL COUNT – PLEURAL FLUID

The assessment of pleural fluid through cell counting provides a comprehensive analysis of cell quantities and types present between the lung linings. This meticulous examination serves as a crucial tool for identifying infections, inflammation, cancer, and other pulmonary issues. It encompasses total cell enumeration and differentiation among red and white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils. These precise findings, combined with clinical context, significantly enhance diagnostic precision, enabling tailored and effective treatments for pleural-related conditions.
