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.
Fluid on the lungs (pleural effusion). When cancer affects the lungs, fluid can sometimes collect between the sheets of tissue that cover the outside of the lung and the lining of the chest cavity. These sheets of tissue are called the pleura. You can see the pleura (in red) in the diagram below. Doctors call this fluid collection a pleural effusion, as in the diagram below. The fluid stops the lung from fully expanding when you breathe. So as it builds up, the collected fluid causes shortness of breath.
