About test
What does Fluid Analysis (Other Fluids) measure?
Fluid Analysis (Other Fluids) examines the chemical, cellular, and microbiological characteristics of body fluids other than blood or urine. Depending on the fluid and tests requested, it may measure protein, glucose, enzymes, cells, crystals, or signs of infection or inflammation. Healthcare professionals may use it to help investigate fluid buildup, inflammation, bleeding, infection, or other conditions affecting specific body spaces. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, examination findings, and other tests.
