Accepted Answer

Transudate refers to a fluid that is associated with serous membranes, which are thin membranes that cover organs and line body cavities. These membranes produce a lubricating fluid that helps reduce friction between organs and body cavities. Transudate is a type of fluid that is formed when plasma seeps through the capillaries in the serous membranes, without the presence of significant inflammation or cellular debris.
