If pulmonary edema continues, it can raise pressure in the pulmonary artery (pulmonary hypertension), and eventually the right ventricle in your heart becomes weak and begins to fail. The right ventricle has a much thinner wall of muscle than does the left side of your heart because it is under less pressure to pump blood into the lungs.
This study is looking at scans, blood tests and lung fluid tests to improve diagnosis for people with fluid in the lung lining (pleural effusion), or thickening of the lung lining. Having fluid in the lining of your lung is a common condition, and could be a symptom of one of at least 50 possible causes.hese include having blood clots on the lung, heart failure, TB or cancer. For many people with fluid in the lung lining, or with thickening of this lining, the process of working out what is wrong is slow. Unfortunately, sometimes doctors are not able to find the cause at all.
