All healthy humans have a small amount of pleural fluid responsible for the lubrication that facilitates normal lung respiration movements. This delicate balance of fluid is maintained by the oncotic, hydrostatic pressure, and lymphatic drainage; any disturbances in one of these systems can lead to a build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs, which is known as pleural effusion.

This delicate balance of fluid is maintained by the oncotic, hydrostatic pressure, and lymphatic drainage; any disturbances in one of these systems can lead to a build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs, which is known as pleural effusion.
