The ct report has a small amount of pleural effusion, need to clarify the etiology, for the etiology of follow-up treatment, including drug therapy, drug use should follow the doctor’s instructions.
Pleural effusion is a small amount of lubricating fluid in the pleural cavity, the dynamic balance of its formation and absorption is disrupted, i.e., the absorption is too slow or the formation is too much, and the fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity, forming pleural effusion.
When pleural effusion is found, attention should be paid to finding the etiology, such as congestive heart failure or increased blood volume, causing increased osmotic pressure in pleural capillaries, caused by a small amount of pleural effusion, the effusion does not require special treatment, and diuresis can be carried out to address the cause of the cause, such as the use of furosemide, and other symptomatic treatment.
Pleural inflammation caused by pleural capillary osmotic pressure increase, resulting in pleural effusion, can be actively anti-infective treatment, such as tuberculosis pleurisy can use rifampicin and other anti-tuberculosis drugs, a small amount of fluid can be self-absorbed.
Hypoproteinemia caused by the pleural capillary colloid osmotic pressure decrease, caused by a small amount of effusion, in the supplementary nutrition, the body albumin rise, the effusion can be self-recovery.
A small amount of pleural effusion can be seen in many diseases, it is recommended that patients seek timely medical treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
