Abstract
Pleural effusion is defined as the abnormal collection of pleural fluid in between the two layers of the pleural as result of imbalance in the homeostatic factors that govern the rate of pleural fluid formation and absorption.The global incidence of pleural effusion is estimated to be around 3 million perannum. Thus it is important to exactly diagnose the cause of pleural fluid formation and there by reducing the mortality and morbidity associated with the same. Pleural fluid originates from the capillaries of the parietal pleura at a rate of 0.01ml/kg/hr and is cleared at a rate of 0.4ml/kg/hour.
