👉 The causing fluid, also known as exudate, is a type of abnormal fluid that accumulates between the layers of tissue in various parts of the body, such as joints, skin, or organs. This fluid is primarily caused by inflammation, infection, or tissue damage, which triggers the release of inflammatory mediators and immune cells. These mediators increase vascular permeability, allowing plasma proteins and other components to leak out of blood vessels into the surrounding tissue. As a result, an excess of fluid accumulates, leading to swelling and discomfort. In some cases, bacterial infections can exacerbate this process by directly causing tissue damage and further stimulating the inflammatory response.
