Overview

Common risk factors in the development of pleural effusion include pre-existing lung damage or disease,[1] chronic smokers,[1] neoplasia (e.g. lung cancer patients),[2] alcohol abuse,[2] use of certain medications (e.g. dasatinib in the treatment of patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia[3] and immunosuppressive medicine),[2] occupational exposure to asbestos,[1] and surgery-related risk factors.[4]

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[5]
  • As a complication of some surgical procedures (e.g. Nuss procedure for correction of pectus excavatum)[6]

Surgery-related risk factors include the following:[4]
