👉 Injury fluid, also known as exudate, is a type of interstitial fluid that accumulates between cells and tissues when there is damage to the blood vessel walls. This fluid contains proteins, white blood cells, and other cellular debris, which result from the breakdown of damaged vessels. Unlike normal interstitial fluid, which is typically clear and low in protein content, injury fluid is characterized by its high protein concentration and inflammatory cells, indicating an active response to tissue injury. This accumulation occurs as part of the body's healing process, helping to remove damaged components and initiate repair mechanisms.
