How can there be fluid accumulation in shoulder pneumonia

Shoulder pneumonia generally refers to interstitial fibrosis of the lungs. The cause of pleural effusion in patients with pulmonary interstitial fibrosis may be caused by non-disease factors such as infection and drug side effects, or it may be caused by disease factors such as heart failure and renal insufficiency.

1. Non-disease factors

1. Infection: If the patient's immunity is low, when infected by bacteria or viruses, it may cause an inflammatory reaction, which stimulates the increase of local tissue exudate and forms pleural effusion.

2. Drug side effects: If you take glucocorticoid drugs for a long time, such as dexamethasone tablets, prednisone acetate tablets, etc., it will lead to water retention in the body, thereby inducing the above symptoms.

2. Disease factors

1. Heart failure: due to the decrease in the pumping function of the heart, it cannot meet the body's metabolic needs, and the pressure of the systemic venous system increases, and the fluid leaks into the pleural space, which will cause this phenomenon.

2. Renal insufficiency: When the excretion ability of the kidneys decreases, it is easy to cause water and sodium retention, which increases the osmotic pressure in the blood vessels, and then the phenomenon of pleural effusion will occur.

In addition to the above common causes, hypoproteinemia may also be involved. Patients are advised to seek medical treatment in a timely manner to avoid delaying the condition. In daily life, we should pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and also pay attention to eating a healthy diet, eat more high-quality protein foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
