Description

Fluid Cell Count is a laboratory test that determines the number and types of cells present in a body fluid, such as synovial fluid (joint fluid), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or pleural fluid (around the lungs). This test is often performed to diagnose various medical conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, and cancers.

The fluid cell count typically includes a total cell count as well as a differential count, which categorizes the types of cells present, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and other cell types. An elevated white blood cell count may indicate infection or inflammation, while the presence of abnormal cells can suggest malignancy. Analyzing the fluid cell count is crucial for guiding treatment decisions and monitoring the progress of certain conditions.
