Peritoneal Fluid Analysis
Peritoneal fluid analysis is a medical test used to evaluate the fluid in the abdomen (peritoneal cavity). This test can be used to detect the presence of infection, cancer, or other disease in the abdomen. The analysis involves looking at the color and appearance of the fluid, as well as measuring levels of proteins, minerals, and other substances. Results of the test can indicate various diseases and can help guide treatment decisions. Peritoneal fluid analysis is a valuable tool used by doctors to assess abdominal diseases, and is often recommended when abdominal pain, swelling, or fever is present.
