👉 The affected fluid refers to the specific bodily fluid that is impacted or altered due to an underlying condition, injury, or disease. This could include blood, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, or synovial fluid, depending on the location and nature of the issue. For instance, if a patient has an infection or inflammation in their lungs, the pleural fluid (the fluid surrounding the lungs) might become thickened and filled with pus or inflammatory cells. Similarly, in cases of kidney disease, the urine (a type of blood plasma) might show signs of abnormal protein or blood content. Understanding which fluid is affected is crucial for diagnosing and treating the underlying condition effectively.
