There are many causes of fluid in the lungs or in the chest cavity, between the lungs and the chest wall. Sometimes the fluid backs up from heart problems, kidney failure, liver failure, cancer, pneumonia, blood clots, autoimmune diseases. The key is to have a good diagnosis and treat the underlying condition.
