Pleural effusion

[Swamy21]

Looking for reasons of pleural effusion apart from tuberculosis. Any help appreciated.

There are a few reasons for pleural effusion, definitely ask your Dr on this one.

Pleural effusion can be drained and examined in the lab to differentiate what type it is and hence its cause.

Take care x

As Marian says there are lots of reasons. If you have RA then the most likely is the disease, as it can cause this, but talk to your doctor about it.
