What are Pleural Effusions?

Pleural effusions occur when excess fluid builds up between the layers of tissue surrounding the lungs. This can cause chest discomfort, cough, or shortness of breath.

How is it Diagnosed?

Diagnosis may include chest X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, and thoracentesis, where fluid is removed for testing.

How is it Treated?

Treatment depends on the cause and may include draining the fluid, treating infection, managing heart or liver conditions, or addressing cancer-related effusions.
