10. Pleural Effusion
Pleural effusion, sometimes called water on the lungs, is the build-up of excess fluid between the pleura layers. The pleura, thin membranes that line the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity, act to lubricate and facilitate breathing. When too much fluid builds up around the pleura, it can cause breathing issues, like tachypnea, orthopnea and a dry, unproductive cough.
Pleural effusion can occur as a result of protein-poor or protein-rich fluids being present in the pleura. Treatment and prognosis vary upon the cause of the condition.
