Hypro Diagnostics delves into the intricate world of pericardial fluid, an ultrafiltrate of plasma nestled within the pericardial sac, playing a pivotal role as a lubricating agent between the visceral and parietal layers of the pericardium. This fluid, characterized by an outer fibrous layer and an inner serous layer, boasts heightened concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), proteins, and lymphocytes. A typical, healthy adult harbors around 50 ml of this clear, straw-colored fluid. The Cell Count and Cell Type test, a diagnostic marvel, involves scrutinizing a pericardial fluid sample to gauge leukocytes and neutrophils levels, aiding in the identification of pericarditis and pericardial tumors. No specific pre-test preparations are mandated, but a meticulous medical history review and confirmation of the patient’s medication status are imperative. Post-analysis, tailored instructions are dispensed by the astute physician, taking into account the nuances of the patient’s condition.
