A mild disease of the pleura is a disease linked to asbestos, which still puzzles some experts, because they do not know why some asbestos workers a number of benign diseases of the pleura, while others will not be affected by the terrible effects of asbestos.
The pleural cavity is the space between the lungs and chest wall, a small amount of pleural fluid in normal and non-patients. The pleura is the lining epitheliumthis cave. asbestos fibers can access this part of the body.
The parietal pleura, which is connected to the chest wall is very sensitive to pain. Meanwhile, the pleura, which is in the lungs and other visceral tissues is connected, insensitive to pain.
The function of the chest and pleural effusion is to reduce friction between the lungs and inside of the chest wall during respiration. Asbestos fibers make it difficult. A profile is generally benign pleuralnot progressing and is not fatal. These conditions include pleural plaques, diffuse pleural fibrosis and pleural effusion Benin.
Pleural effusion occurs when fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity and compress the lungs.
Pleural plaques is a discrete fibrous or partially calcified thickened, which can be seen on radiographs of people exposed to asbestos. Benign pleural diseases occur years after exposure to asbestos, and some expertscause little or no difficulty, since some people do not yet show symptoms. However, under a benign disease of the pleura may be a sign of development of asbestosis and other asbestos-related diseases later.
