Pleural Effusion treatment cost
A pleural effusion is a build-up of fluid between the lung and the chest wall, often from heart failure, infection, inflammation or cancer, causing breathlessness, chest pain and cough. It is diagnosed with chest X-ray, ultrasound or CT and by sampling the fluid, and treated by draining it and treating the underlying cause.
