Overview
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of pleural effusion are as follows:
- Increased serum VEGF, TNF-α and C3 levels are identified as important risk factors for presence of pleural effusions in POEMS syndrome.[1]
- Pre-existing lung damage or disease.
- Chronic smokers.
- Liver cirrhosis.
- Use of certain medications example dasatinib in the treatment of patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia.[2]
- Occupational exposure to asbestos.
- Heart failure.
- Lung cancer patients, individuals with any other type of lung tumor.
- As a complication of some surgical procedures example Nuss procedure for correction of pectus excavatum.[3]
Surgery related risk factors include the following:[4]
- Lower preoperative oxygen saturation
- presence of postoperative infection
- smaller conduit size
- longer duration of cardiopulmonary bypass
