HistoryThis section has been translated automatically.
Interstitial, subacute pulmonary edema in the hilus-near sections due to hyperhydration in renal failure (sodium and water retention) or excessive infusion therapy. The fluid lung often precedes manifest pulmonary oedema. Etio: Fluid lunging is often observed as a complication of acute and chronic renal failure. It is predominantly an interstitial pulmonary edema, which is radiologically impressive as a central edema with a bright peripheral edge zone corresponding to the image of butterfly wings. In addition, signs of heart enlargement are often detected.
EtiopathogenesisThis section has been translated automatically.
The pathogenesis of fluid lunging is very complex; it is caused by hyperhydration, uremic-toxic permeability disorders of the pulmonary capillary wall, decrease in blood osmolarity due to hypoproteinemia and hypalbuminemia, and left heart failure (evidence of cardiac dilatation has been demonstrated).
