Pulmonary Edema Pulmonary edema (swelling or fluid in the lungs) can either be caused by cardiogenic causes (congestive heart failure, heart attacks, abnormal heart valves) or noncardiogenic causes such as: ARDS, kidney failure, high altitude, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, aspirin overdose, pulmonary embolism, and.
The lungs may swell because the disease can fill up the air spaces inside the lungs, making breathing difficult. The infection that causes the pneumonia can spread into the bloodstream and then to other organs. Fluid can collect between the lining (pleurae) of the lungs and the lining of the inside of the chest. When fluid collects inside it is called pleural effusion.
