Pleural Disease

Pleural disease is a group of conditions that affect the pleura, the double-layered membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the chest cavity. The pleura prevents friction during breathing. Common pleural diseases include pleurisy (inflammation) and pleural effusion (excess fluid accumulation), which can restrict lung expansion.

Common Symptoms

Watch for these key indicators or warning signs:

  • Sharp chest pain that gets worse when breathing in, coughing, or sneezing
  • Shortness of breath or rapid, shallow breathing
  • A dry cough and unexplained fever
  • Pain radiating to the shoulder or back

Root Causes & Risk Factors

Common factors that trigger or aggravate this condition:

  • Infections: Bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis, or viral chest infections.
  • Systemic Conditions: Heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, or pulmonary embolism.
  • Inflammatory Diseases: Autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

Diagnostics & Clinical Care Plan

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Shubham Kalambe, we offer personalized treatment approaches including:

  • Thoracentesis: A procedure to drain excess fluid or air from the pleural cavity.
  • Pleurodesis: Using medical agents to adhere the pleural layers together to prevent fluid recurrence.
  • Targeted antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs to treat the root cause.
  • Minimally invasive medical thoracoscopy for diagnosis and therapy.
