  Fluid accumulation of pleural effusion
  The cellular and biochemical characteristics of pleural fluid vary with either the cause of the fluid accumulation, increased transpleural hydrostatic pressure (congestive heart failure), decreased intravascular oncotic pressure (cirrhosis and nephrotic syndrome), or microvascular injury due to inflammation.
  In the absence of microvascular injury, the pleural fluid is transudative and lacks significant concentrations of plasma proteins and (...)
