REVIEW ON BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BODY FLUIDS
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Human body consists of many different types of fluids. These fluids have their own importance in maintaining body functions. Body fluids are the liquids excreted and secreted from the human body. The body fluids may contain biomarkers that are not found in blood or are at different concentration than in blood. Therefore estimation of body fluids plays an important role in the diagnosis of diseases. Some body fluids are present in healthy individuals and some are found in the disease conditions. For example, amniotic fluid is only found in pregnancy and pleural fluid is only seen in noticeable quantities in diseases. The importance obtained through using less common body fluids helps us in understanding of the disease processes. In this review paper we have focussed on the biochemical tests done on CSF, pleural, peritoneal, pericardial, synovial, amniotic fluids, tears, sweat, saliva and semen.
