Natural History
The natural course of lymphadenopathy depends on the underlying cause. Lymphadenopathy due to infectious causes subsides once the infection is controlled.
Complications
- Mediastinal lymphadenopathy causes pressure symptoms like:
- Superior vena cava syndrome
- Tracheal and bronchial obstruction
- Dysphagia
- Hemoptysis
- Uric acid nephropathy
- Hyperkalemia
- Hypercalcemia
- Hypocalcemia
- Hyperphosphatemia
- Renal failure
- Abdominal lymphadenopathy can cause
Prognosis
Prognosis of lymphadenopathy depends entirely on the underlying etiology. Cancerous causes of lymphadenopathy have a poor prognosis compared to the infectious causes.
