Hepatic hydrothorax is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity (the space surrounding the lungs) due to liver disease, particularly cirrhosis. This fluid buildup occurs when increased pressure in the abdominal cavity leads to the transudation of fluid through the diaphragm into the pleural space. It is often associated with symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest discomfort. Management typically involves treating the underlying liver condition and may include therapeutic thoracentesis to remove fluid.
