What is bilateral pulmonary edema?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Sue Ferranti answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Meaning....: This means that there is fluid in both lungs. Congestive heart failure can lead to a fluid build up in both lungs but there are many other etiologies depending on the age of the patient as well as medical history. Your doctor will have more clinical information to make a more precise diagnosis as well as treatment. Good luck!
