What Is Pleural Fibrosis?

When the inflammation has dissipated, the pleura can become fibrotic. Although the lung puppet can be wrapped by a thick fibrous layer, which restricts the movement of the chest wall and moves the mediastinum to the disease side, even in the case of long-term or severe (pleural) inflammation, when healed After that, only a small amount of scar tissue remains. Although it can be shown on ultrasound and CT to have diagnostic and diagnostic features, it is impossible to distinguish localized pleural thickening from encapsulated pleural effusion unless a thoracentesis is performed. Early treatment of underlying diseases to reduce pleural fibrosis.

Although there is often no history of acute pleural injury, pleural calcification is often a limitation on the pleura after bleeding or infection in the thorax, usually an irregular plaque with a cavity on the costal pleura. Localized erosion often occurs after more than 20 years of exposure Plaque-like pleural fibrosis, usually involving the diaphragmatic pleura, is evidence of low-dose, short-term exposure to inhaled asbestos fibers.
