The analysis of peritoneal fluid is of value in the differential diagnosis of equine colic but its characteristics have not been evaluated in grass sickness. Peritoneal fluid was collected from 15 normal horses and from 11 cases of medical colic, 11 cases of surgical colic, 20 cases of acute grass sickness and 13 cases of subacute grass sickness. The fluid was analysed for its appearance, total and differential white cell count, specific gravity, total protein concentration and total and intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity. Fluid from cases of medical colic was normal in these respects. Surgical cases were unique in having bloodstained fluid with a high alkaline phosphatase activity. Grass sickness cases had a higher specific gravity and protein content than the cases of medical colic although the appearance of the fluid was similar. Grass sickness cases were distinguishable from cases of surgical colic on the basis of the appearance of the fluid and its lower alkaline phosphatase activity.
腹膜液分析在马属动物绞痛的鉴别诊断中有重要价值，但在青草搐搦病中其特征尚未得到评估。收集了15匹正常马、11例内科性绞痛、11例外科性绞痛、20例急性青草搐搦病和13例亚急性青草搐搦病的腹膜液。对该液体进行外观、白细胞总数及分类计数、比重、总蛋白浓度以及总碱性磷酸酶和肠碱性磷酸酶活性分析。内科性绞痛病例的液体在这些方面均正常。外科性病例的独特之处在于其液体有血性且碱性磷酸酶活性高。青草搐搦病病例的液体比重和蛋白含量高于内科性绞痛病例，尽管液体外观相似。青草搐搦病病例可根据液体外观及其较低的碱性磷酸酶活性与外科性绞痛病例区分开来。
