Pleural effusion routine refers to pleural effusion. If the pleural effusion is small and cannot be extracted, it can be improved through drug therapy. If the amount of pleural effusion is moderate or more, but it is still difficult to extract, it may be due to the long duration of the disease. It can be relieved by injecting urokinase. If it is not extracted for a long time, it will cause serious harm to the body.
1. Pleural effusion can be caused by a variety of causes, such as infection, malignant tumor, connective tissue disease, pulmonary embolism, etc. Tuberculous pleurisy is the most common one, and further examination should be conducted to clarify the cause of pleural effusion.
2. Pleural effusion is a clinical sign caused by the imbalance of pleural fluid formation and absorption, leading to excessive water accumulation in the pleura. Under normal conditions, the parietal pleura continuously produces pleural fluid into the pleural cavity, while the visceral pleura continuously absorbs and drains pleural fluid, achieving a balance between production and drainage recovery. There is always a certain amount of effusion in the pleural cavity, but it is generally not easy to detect by chest X-ray or fluoroscopy.
3. Generally, through pleural effusion routine, we can roughly distinguish whether the pleural effusion is transudative or exudative. Transudative pleural effusion is often caused by non-inflammatory factors such as hypoproteinemia, heart failure, and renal failure, while exudative pleural effusion is often caused by inflammation, tumors, chemical or physical stimulation.
