What causes diaphragm elevated?

Cysts, an infection or abscess, hematoma, or a tumor may be problems that are taking place below the diaphragm. these may be causing upward presure that elevate the diaphragm. Damage to the nerve that controls the diaphragm the (phrenic nerve) or infiltration of the diaphragm by lung cancer or similar tumors can also cause elevation of half of the diaphragm. lung collapse, lung fibrosis, painful pleurisy, pulmonary embolus, or a rib fracture may cause elevation of half of the diaphragm.
