Treating pericardial effusion
My mother is 65yr old and was diagnosed with pericardial effusion so they removed the fluid (around 800ml), and took several reports but said that they're not sure of the cause. CT scan report is attached and fluid sample report is also attached. Her ADA has also come positive i.e. 55.7 Please suggest me what should we do next as this has upset her and she's not eating much by saying that she don't feel like eating and it feels like vomiting.
