Descriptor English: Extravascular Lung Water
Descriptor Spanish: Agua Pulmonar Extravascular
Descriptor agua pulmonar extravascular
Scope note: Agua contenida fuera de los vasos pulmonares. El pulmón normal está compuesto de agua en cerca de un 80 por ciento, incluyendo el agua intracelular, intersticial y vascular. El fallo para mantener la homeostasis normal del intercambio de fluidos entre el espacio vascular y el intersticio pulmonar puede producir EDEMA PULMONAR y encharcamiento del espacio alveolar.

Tree number(s): A12.207.270.300
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015633
Scope note: Water content outside of the lung vasculature. About 80% of a normal lung is made up of water, including intracellular, interstitial, and blood water. Failure to maintain the normal homeostatic fluid exchange between the vascular space and the interstitium of the lungs can result in PULMONARY EDEMA and flooding of the alveolar space.
