  3. The most probable one is cancer which triggers malignant growth of cancer cells in the pleural space which causes the fluid to build up. “Around 45% of the people diagnosed with lung cancer are expected to develop Pleural Effusion at some point in their life”, says the best lung transplant surgeon in Hyderabad, Dr Alla Gopala Krishna Gokhale. Also, certain types of cancers like lung breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lymphoma or mesothelioma are more likely to cause Pleural Effusion. Even the treatment given to these cancers – chemotherapy, radiation, abdominal surgery and other medications can trigger this condition. In addition to cancer, other medical conditions that spark the Effusion include heart, kidney and liver diseases, pneumonia, and lung collapse, blood clots in the lungs, trauma, lung inflammation and even poor nutrition.

Medical history, physical examination, chest X-ray, ultrasound, Thoracentesis, blood test and other required imaging studies are performed to diagnose the condition. “Treatment for Pleural Effusion depends upon the root cause of the condition.
