Hydrothorax
Hydrothorax is a condition that results from serous fluid accumulating in the pleural cavity. This specific condition can be related to cirrhosis with ascites in which ascitic fluid leaks into the pleural cavity. Hepatic hydrothorax is often difficult to manage in end-stage liver failure and often fails to respond to therapy. In similar pleural effusions, the fluid is blood in hemothorax, pus in pyothorax, and lymph in chylothorax.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Hydrothorax
hī-dro-thō′raks, n. a term applied to dropsical collections in the pleura. [Gr. hydōr, water, thōrax, chest.]
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Hydrothorax
