Body Fluid Analysis for Cellular Composition; Proposed Guideline
The intended purpose of this guideline is to explain how to collect, process, examine, store, and report results for body fluid specimens for the characterization of inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, and immune alterations. It will also discuss preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical variables related to body fluid cellular analyses. For the purpose of this document, the following body fluids will be discussed: cerebrospinal, serous (pleural, peritoneal, pericardial), and related fluids (i.e., peritoneal dialysate, peritoneal lavage, and bronchoalveolar), and synovial fluids.
