👉 Syndrome fluid, also known as pleural effusion, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid within the pleural space, the thin layer of fluid that surrounds and protects the lungs. This excess fluid can result from various underlying conditions such as heart failure, pneumonia, lung cancer, or inflammatory diseases. The fluid increases pressure on the lungs, impairing their ability to expand and contract properly, which can lead to shortness of breath and reduced oxygen exchange. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like chest X-rays or ultrasounds, while treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include drainage procedures, medications, or lifestyle changes.
