Is renal dysfunction can cause pleural effusion?

Possible...: It is possible for kidney disease to cause a pleural effusion. If fluid builds up in the body due to renal failure, then it is possible for a pleural effusion to develop. There are many treatments, depending on the cause of the renal failure, severity, etc.
